1)1997 Poggio alle Mura Brunello di Montalcino
2)1997 Carpazo Brunello di Montalcino "La Casa"
and for a kicker a 99 Chateau ST. Jean Cinq Cepages cab.
Now to wait for them to get ready.....Ten years should go by fast enough right guys and gals?

Don't wait ten years on those Brunelli: major hype on a fruit forward, low structure "restaurant" vintage, not built for the ages. The backlash has already started in the pricing. They WILL be great in the next two to four with a big steak...

That's funny, everything I have read/heard says super tight and harsh tannins and wait. Anyone else? Please let me know if you have heard.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way about the 97 Brunelli. The ones produced in the so-called International Style will not last.

How long would you recommend waiting foodie? I was told by my wine guy that it would be a shame to even think about opening them soon. Other opinions would help. I hate saving for too long and then having an "over the hill" dissapointment.
