Daniel Thomases - Wine Advocate
Il Poggione’s wines
continue to change, evolving towards a slightly less mature style
and offering more fruit and freshness.
The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is only slightly better
than the regular bottling, more garnet in tonality, somewhat more
complex on the nose with notes of truffles and wild mushrooms along
with the currant and cherry fruit, and a sizeable, weighty palate
which still has a few tannins to round off. Drink: '06 - '18. |
