The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino from Il Palazzone is sweet, open and accessible, with pretty notes of floral red fruits that blossom in a generous, round style. The wine shows lovely balance and persistence as suggestions of herbs, tobacco and spices linger on the finish. This is another of the more forward wines of the vintage and it should drink well pretty much upon release. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel.

Red fruit with a natural juiciness and a very fresh style. A little tight with the tannic structure.
