Product Information:
“Enticing aromas
of meat-and-mushroom pie mingle with rich plum and spices. Full-bodied, with
silky, caressing tannins and intense fruit and mineral flavors. Well-crafted,
finishing long. The flagship Brunello in 2003. This is the wine of the vintage.
Best after 2010.”
95 Points, Wine Spectator
Parker Review:
Valdicavas 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is a big, brooding effort loaded with black cherries, smoke, tar and earthiness. This expressive, powerful wine needs at least another year or two to settle down. While not as extreme as the 2001, it stands apart for its intensity of color and the sheer volume of its extract. In 2003 the Brunello spent three and a half years in 45 and 50hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. Abruzzese says the spring rains in the northern part of Montalcino left the wines with enough water reserves to mature without going into hydric stress. Anticipated maturity 2009 to 2019.
