Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $33
This is an elegant Brunello with pretty aromas of wild berries, cassis and white cherry enhanced by determined notes of spice and smoke. On the nose the wine is vertical and intense but like many expression from the 2005 vintage, the mouthfeel is toned down in dimension.

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $65
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.
