2004 Brunello from a great year, however the wine is not so great. Too ripe, the loss of freshness, depth and complexity is unfortunate. Makes me think modern producers may be better in off years, our just simply avoided.

Just okay at best. Despite the high vintage ratings, this particular wine is thin with no real attributes to make me want to try it again. Highly disappointed.
