Uccelleira Brunello di Montalcino 2004 Tuscany "The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is simply gorgeous in the way all of its elements come together. It's hard to know where to start with this wine. Smoke, scorched earth, black cherries and wild herbs are all melded seamlessly in a Brunello loaded with flavor, personality and sheer character. The wine possesses formidable concentration and phenomenal length, with lingering notes of sweetness that round out the close. Uccelliera's Brunello was impressive from cask, and it is just as impressive now that it is in bottle. Readers who have the opportunity to taste the wine at this young stage should not hesitate although a few years are needed before it blossoms fully. Simply put, this is the finest wine I have tasted from Andrea Cortonesi. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024." A. Galloni for TWA, 95 pts. 06/09 4 bottles Provenance: Winter's Collection.
