Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 2004

Picked a bottle of something I hadn’t ever tried before from the racks last night, and as I was extracting a long and high quality cork from the neck of it, I prayed I wasn’t committing vinocide. An intriguing nose: savoury, dried meats and spice, with cherries, stones, vanilla, nuts and black earth, and a touch of caramel. The palate was beautifully textured and structured, dark cherries and plums, tobacco, earth and meats. Great length with perhaps the acid showing a bit on the finish. Probably cost in the mid $80s. Drink 2010-2019. 92 points

    Hi Andrew,
    Nah, I don’t think I would buy more, but it was an interesting wine to try.

    The big American wholesaler in Melbourne was selling it at one point in time, although I think it has since sold out. =(

    I was going to get some based on what your response was, but forgot to return here!
