le chiuse has produced one of montalcino's brightest stars with this riserva 2004 (the base 2004 brunello didn't impress us as nearly much). this is a delicious wine that you will enjoy on every level. the intensity and purity of the fruit and spice aromas are impressive and the mouthfeel is extra-plush and supple. yet, those firm tannins give it the balance and structure it needs.
