1998 Col D'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Vento

The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio al Vento is bigger and fatter than the 1999. It presents a more masculine array of earthiness, tobacco, tar and dark cherry nuances on an ampler, if less refined, frame of notable length, with broad, building tannins.  Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
