2001 Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino

[hotwine]

Couldn't keep the mits off of this puppy any longer. She called for ravioli in marinara sauce with green beans and garlic bread, and that worked for me.

Almost black in the glass....opaque, touch of red at the rim but very dark. Heady nose, gorgeous, scent of a woman. Red and black fruits combine on the palate, still gorgeous, becoming bruised red fruits on the finish, lingering like her perfume. 13% alc/vol and about $43. Looking to try sometime with eggplant parmesan. Stocking up a bottle or two at a time. WS94.
