2000 La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino (Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino)

Brilliant wine. Mature Brunello that shows pretty cherry and plum fruit with leather, earth, and a hint of licorice on the finish. Long, warm, and comforting. We had this with my home made pizza, and it was a perfect food-wine pairing. I bought this for less than $30 and at that price, it was a steal. A more traditional version of Brunello, I believe. I would recommend this wine and its producer based on this experience.
