Palazzo 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $74
A deep mineral vein adds gorgeous depth and complexity: polished stone, schoolroom chalkboard and campfire coals. Bursting berry fruit and boysenberry with lemon grass highlights. Flavors are ripe and round without sacrificing complexity and the wine will stretch its legs with a few more years in the cellar. Imported by Bedford International.

- $105
Opens with dark, savory layers of Indian spice, candied fruit, plum, licorice and graham cracker. The texture is thick, viscous and rich, but a bright touch of acidity washes over the palate and keeps it refreshed. The endnote features tertiary aromas of leather, cola and crushed mineral.

- $85
This Riserva Brunello from the hot 2003 vintage delivers a very elegant approach that is not jammy or cooked. In fact, the integrity of the fruit fares surprising well and the wine boasts intense aromas of blackberry, spice, cedar and cola. Playful oak aromas and fruity sweetness bring up the rear.

Palazzo 2001 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $120
This is a proud, modern Brunello Riserva that delivers strong and decisive oak tones including vanilla bean, toasted espresso, chocolate fudge and sweet spice that cast a shadow over the natural fruit flavors. The wine is balanced and has good harmony in the mouth, although those wood tones are very present here too. Lovers of traditional Brunello will not…

Palazzo 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

Palazzo 2003 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $85
This wine takes a modern approach to Brunello that is instantly recognized by its penetrating aromas of smoke and toasted oak that will surely relax with a few more years of cellar aging. Chewy tannins, fresh berry flavors and good length characterize the oak-driven mouthfeel.
