2001 Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino

[hotwine]

I don't know what a well-aged Brunello (or Barolo) is supposed to taste like, never having had the pleasure. With decent storage available for only the past five years or so, it hasn't made sense until recently to buy a wine that needed to sleep. Planning to sample these over time as a learning experience (hey, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
