Tasting note: The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino Cru Cerretalto possesses a dark garnet color as well as a big, spicy, earthy bouquet with hints of cedar and dried herbs. Tannic and medium to full-bodied, with a saturated color in addition to sweetness and fruit in its moderately long finish, it will be at its finest between 2006-2014. (88pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Dec. 2002
Score: 88
Drink: 2006-14

Tasting note: Very ripe fruit, almost decadent aromas. Blackberry and currant. Mushroom and earth. Toasty oak. Full-bodied, very velvety and rich, with loads of fruit and very ripe tannins. Chewy and powerful. Youthful and slightly closed still. But what a palate. It's got all for the future.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2009. 2,220 cases made. (97pts.
