Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo, Frescobaldi - Castelgiocondo 1997

Tasting Notes

Superbly crafted. Pretty aromas of black cherry, cream and licorice. Full-bodied, yet incredibly tight and smooth, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long, velvety finish. A joy to taste. Best after 2004. 96 points.
