Marroneto, Brunello Montalcino Madonna Grazie Vintage:2011 the 2004 Riserva Bricco Boschis

the 2004 Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe needs another 5-10 years in bottle before it starts drinking well

2012 should be a terrific vintage for this storied wine though note that plenty of patience will be required as I doubt that this will drink especially well young

Give it 3-5 more years in bottle and drink it over the next twenty-five

The type of reduction that the Burgundians call bourgeon de cassis dominates the fruit today

Marroneto, Brunello Montalcino Madonna Grazie Vintage:2011 the 2004 Riserva Bricco BoschisThis is one of the icon wines of the appellation. The Il Marroneto 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie shows an elegantly streamlined appearance with shiny ruby highlights. This warm vintage expression does not have the same vertical lift that we saw in the glorious 2016 edition, but that wine sets the bar very high (and it earned a 100 point score). This vintage is perhaps shapelier and more saturated with rose, wild cherry, peat moss
