Tasting notes

So, this 2005 Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta di Collosorbo is something special, you know? It hails from Tuscany, a region famous for its rich and structured Sangiovese-based wines. This wine, with its lengthy aging process, showcases a unique blend of power and elegance. Brunello is known for its robust yet delicate structure, and this vintage has garnered quite the attention. Let's open a bottle and see what magic unfolds.

In the manga, it appears in volume 28 when Shinohara is searching for the perfect wine. This Brunello is noted as being more feminine and sweet compared to Banfi. It's reminiscent of a childhood music teacher playing a joyful organ tune in the sun. There's a touch of nostalgia in its charm.

Pour it into a glass, and you'll notice its garnet hue with a brick-red rim, showing its age. The aroma is complex, with layers of tea, dried herbs, and sous-bois. On the palate, it starts with a soft fruitiness, followed by vibrant acidity. The tannins are velvety smooth, giving it a rounded mouthfeel.

It's got a beautifully balanced structure with a long finish. I'd recommend decanting it before serving to fully appreciate its depth. This might just be the perfect choice for a memorable evening.
