Our "outstanding" 2005 Brunello!

I was so excited to come across Tom Hyland's recent post on trends from Vinitaly:

Here is the excerpt that mentions Brunello 2005.  Our wine has been considered as outstanding and we rubbing shoulders with some wonderful Montalcino producers.

2005 Brunello di Montalcino

I tasted a few dozen of these wines in February in Chicago and New York; this was my chance to try some of my favorites I missed. While these wines may be a slightly more difficult sell comig after the celebrated 2004 vintage, this is an excellent vintage overall, with beautiful varietal character and lively acidity. Among the very best I tasted were the Stella di Campalto, Talenti, Le Chiuse, Col d’Orcia, Innocenti, Ciacci Piccolomini, Fossacolle and these three I rated as outstanding: Il Poggione, Pian dell’Orino and Il Palazzone.

Hooray!
