    "Biondi Santi has produced some stupendous Brunello di Montalcino riservas over the last century, including '25, '45, '55, '64, '75, '82 and '83. However, 1955 remains the best.I tasted a bottle of the '55 in '97 at the winery with the venerable Franco Biondi-Santi, who at 75 remains the strong patriarch of the family, and I was amazed by the freshness and richness of this fine old Brunello. There was an opulence of ripe fruit and elegance of silky tannins that even today only a few of the best wines in Tuscany can replicate. Some Biondi-Santi aficionados may prefer the powerful '64 or the refined '45, but the '55 seems to encompass the best of both wines. The symmetry in the tannins, fruit and acidity is near-perfect for a Sangiovese." James Suckling ‘Wine of the Century’, Wine Spectator, 31/01/99. Drink now - 2018. The ultimate 50th anniversary gift. This wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden box at no additional cost.
