Lot #616. La Fuga Brunello di Montalcino 1999

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94 ST.
"Bright, deep ruby-red. Primary aromas of sappy dark berries, spicecake, marzipan and subtle woodsmoke. Juicy, concentrated, youthful and pure, with vibrant dark berry, chocolate and baking spice flavors complicated by a suggestion of fig. Sweet, very long finish gives an impression of strong extract. The wine's tannins are buried in fruit. Has the balance to last well in bottle. This wine benefited significantly from extended aeration, and I found myself raising my score as I came back for more." Vinous, Sep 2004
Provenance: The Cavalier Cellar
Notes: 1 base neck, 1 very top shoulder, 1 top shoulder, 1 slightly protruding cork, 1 very lightly wrinkled capsule, 1 very lightly wrinkled label, 1 very lightly marked label.
