($90)Has a wonderful nose of roses, strawberries and sandalwood. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and an aftertaste of berry, cedar and light coffee bean. Caresses every inch of your palate. Very fine, yet chewy. Needs time still. Best after 2010. 2,265 cases made. –JS - Spectator 95
The
2004 Brunello di Montalcino is simply awesome in the way it marries a
gorgeous expression of ripe, dark fruit and a classic sense of
structure. A rich, enveloping wine, it flows onto the palate with
masses of black cherries, minerals, spices, tar, new leather and smoke.
This is an exceptionally well-balanced and finessed Brunello full of
character. The tannins remain rather firm but there is enough sheer
density of fruit that opening a bottle on the young side is still
likely to be rewarding. Simply put, Fuligni’s 2004 Brunello di
Montalcino is not to be missed. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Wine Advocate 94
