We had our first eggplant from the garden last night so my wife made e ggplant parmigiano (aubergine to the European folks) with pasta and marinar a sauce. I opened a bottle of 1997 Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino. The wi ne was still quite dark purple with very little hint of age. Fresh mushroo ms, black earth and back fruits on the nose. Smooth and supple with well r esolved tannins. Layers of flavors, black berry, black cherry, a bit of es presso, currants, a slight cedar note, all the good things that come with a ge yet a firm streak of fresh berry/cherry flavors at the core. Pretty nice bottle. B+/A-
