2001 San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino Le Coste Riserva

Classic Brunello nose with dried porcini mushroom, black spices and saddle leather notes to the black cherry, wild strawberry like fruit. Smooth, fine tannins on the tongue with cherry, strawberry fruit, tobacco spice and porcini notes through the finish, a big and elegant wine with a long complex finish that lasts for almost a minute, notes of tar and dried flowers on the finish. This would be singing with a nice NY Sirloin and some sautéed mushrooms. Finish 50 MOST EXCELLENT
