Superb Il Poggione Brunelli Pre-Arrival offers:

Arriving tomorrow:
Il Poggione Vigna Paganelli, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2006 750ML ($119.95) $89 pre-arrival special
Antonio Galloni 97 points “The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is huge, powerful and totally implosive. The seductive allure of the 2007 is nowhere to be found. Instead, the 2006 is built on a serious spine of formidable tannin and dark red/black fruit. Hints of tar, licorice, rose petals and tobacco inform the powerful, virile finish. The 2006 is going to require considerable patience, but it is clearly a jewel of a wine, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2046.”… Read the rest

Wine Spectator’s
Top 100 Wines  of 2015

Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2010 750ML ($99.95) $78 pre-arrival special, arriving November 24th
#4 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2015 – Wine Advocate 98 points
“The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine that shows uncompromising varietal pureness, albeit in a most concentrated and elaborate form. This is what great Sangiovese is all about. There’s so much happening on the nose and the wine brings you to cherry, spice, licorice, cured meat, pressed rose and grilled meat in equal measure.
