I suppose I could see myself spending $100 for the current (2016) release of Poggio di Sotto’s Rosso di Montalcino, but I don’t foresee paying $300 for the 2014 Brunello di Montalcino. With a mere 4,000 bottles produced, this is a beautiful wine—there’s no doubting its quality. This is an elegant, albeit somewhat undertone, Brunello from a cool and slow vintage that did develop pretty aromas, but did little to create age-worthy structure or power. Overall, this is a near-term vintage to enjoy in a time frame that overlaps with the 2016 Rosso di Montalcino in my opinion. This Brunello offers dried cherry aromas followed by flint, crushed mineral and scorched earth.
