Description
 
This wine is ruby red tending to light burgundy red.  The bouquet is reminicent of intense graphite, rust, morello cherry dipped in chocolate, mint, dry hay, and violet. The taste satisfies the olfactory pleasure lavishing sensations of black truffle, violet, liquorice and plum. Wine with a rich alcoholic content and as much freshness with wide tannin, initially velvety and then ending a bit dry, as fully characterized by the vine. The wine dithers between alcohol and freshness but at the end freshness prevails. Medium-bodied, with a long aromatic persistence and a liquorice and fresh plum aftertaste. The La Fortuna 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is especially beautiful in this vintage. The wine is remarkable for its density, richness and concentration, all of which have been achieved while maintaining clarity and freshness. The French oak is beautifully integrated in this sumptuous, generous Brunello. Suggestions of flowers and spices add notes of brightness on the finish. The Brunello spent a whopping 40 months in 25-hectoliter medium-sized casks prior to being bottled. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Wine Advocate, 92 Points. La Fortuna shows beautiful balance with pretty mineral nuances that stay delicately in the background of black fruit, wild berries, new leather and licorice. The mouthfeel is bright and filled with lively fruit flavors with firm structure and a long finish. Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points, Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri Award Winner
