		Sesti, Brunello di Montalcino, Castello di Argiano, 1997: Deep garnet red, with orange and purple reflections as it is held to the light, this full bodied and well balanced wine has a tempting array of fl fruit, wild berry, mint and earthy flavors and aromas, all of which come together in mouthfilling ways.
		Ferro di Burroni Carlo, Brunello di Montalcino, 1997: I tasted this one from three different bottles, all of which showed a bit of early browning and oxidation giving it a sweet, almost Madeira-like nose and flavors that hinted too strongly of caramel and not enough of fruits.

		Though the 2001 vintage of brunello, which has just been released, may be one of the best ever, questions abound in Montalcino over what kind of wine brunello ought to be, how the wine should be made and where the grapes should be planted.
