SOLARIA BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO - 2001

This Tuscan red has an alcohol content of 13.5%.

TASTING NOTES:

Rich red color with strawberry, Sweet Tarts candy and herbs on the nose. Black licorice, black currant, blackberry and spices attack the palate before giving way to a sleek finish. Smooth with fine tannins.

Very good Brunello but this is not jaw dropping stuff that leaves you in awe sip after sip. Retails for around $40 making it on the mid to low cost side for Brunello, yet it is still hard recommend given what else you could purchase for this price.
