1999 La Rasina Brunella de Montalcino

[winoweenie]

Yesterday at lunch at the club BRW and I were handed a taste of this bodacious brew. Naturally Nate the Mgr. was really enjoying himself as he knew we had no ideer what the blazes it be. With my Italian knowledge at about 10 on the scale I really hoped it would turn out to ba a nicely aged Bordeaux but NO!,it was a lovely thingie I had no info on except it had everything a fine wine needed...Lovely nose, supple tannins, fruit and tertiaries out the patootie and a 4&3/4ths lapper finish. When we were told the dist was giving them an almost 50% discount we asked how much they had. Seems there were 2 cases so BRW and I took dead aim. At 51.99 a clatter it was a gone goslin.Will keep youse informed but doubt this hummer can get enny better. WW
