"A welcome return to the Three Glasses for Brunello Poggio all'Oro Riserva '04, proposed for the first time after the '99 vintage. Very elegant, it has an intense nose, with balsamic notes and blackberry and cherry jam. The tannins are smooth, the progression compelling, for a finish of great persistence."
