- hotwine - 11-05-2005 Thought I'd posted on this earlier, but guess not. Decanted an hour before dinner of Italian-seasoned meatloaf, various veggies with lots of garlic. Beautiful nose, inky opaque color; brooding dark fruit on the entry, then opens to show solid depth with lead pencil, a touch of charcoal, and plenty more dark fruit; lingering finish and just too danged small a bottle. 14.5% alc/vol and about $14. - wondersofwine - 11-07-2005 Those '97 and '99 Brunellos are nice aren't they? - hotwine - 11-07-2005 Very nice indeed, and wonderful bargains. - Drew - 11-08-2005 Searching as we speak, Gil. Drew - winedope1 - 11-08-2005 sounds yummy, I'll have to look for it. WD - hotwine - 12-11-2006 Egads! Latest Speculator gives the '01 of this juice a 97 and names it their WOTY! What are the odds of finding it again at the old price?! Zilch! Nada! Fuggetaboutit! (bawl, whine) - Kcwhippet - 12-11-2006 They're showing the price of the 01 at $70. From $14 to $70 in two years is quite a jump. After the number 1 rating, any guesses on what the 02 will be going for? - hotwine - 12-11-2006 Some kind of nose-bleed number, to be sure. |
