Il Poggione 2004 nets amazing 95/100
Posted 3rd July, 2009
Incredible scores and reviews for the wines of Il Poggione by Antonio Galloni in the latest edition of The Wine Advocate.
Singled out for particular praise is their Brunello di Montalcino 2004 .
Galloni says:
“The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is awesome. This finessed, regal Brunello flows onto the palate with seamless layers of perfumed fruit framed by silky, finessed tannins. The wine remains extremely primary at this stage, and its full range of aromas and flavors have yet to emerge, but the sheer pedigree of this Brunello is unmistakable. The elegant, refined finish lasts an eternity, and subtle notes of menthol, spices, licorice and leather add final notes of complexity. The estate’s 2004 Brunello is a wine to buy and bury in the deepest corner of the cellar. Brunello is never inexpensive, but this is the real deal, and in relative terms, it is one of the world’s great values in fine, cellar worthy wine.”
