Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Pretty raspberry and cream aromas convey richness, and it is indeed an easy drinker with warmth and body to it. Core flavors of strawberry, cherry cough drop, and brown sugar are sweet and likable, but ultimately the wine doesn’t have that last kick to push it to another level.
