I also posted this on the WS board, but I figured some people might be interested in this as well.

Stumbled upon a tasting of the different tuscan red wines that Caparzo offers. Unfortunately, there were no 97 Brunello's opened. I listed the sales prices which might still be available at the Glen Ellyn Binny's should other forumites be interested.

1999 Rosso di Montalcino – 8.99
Nice red fruit but lacking complexity. 83

1994 Brunello di Montalcino – 19.99
It lacks the fruit and depth of the ’95. 84/85

1995 Brunello di Montalcino – 25.99
Beautiful aromas of black cherries, vanilla, and cinnamon. Berries, earth, spice, and licorice notes on a velvety lingering finish. 90

1995 La Casa, Brunello di Montalcino – 39.99
Still very tannic, but has lengthy lingering finish of mushrooms, earth, smoked beef jerky, and cherries. 90/91

1996 La Casa, Brunello di Montalcino – 29.99
Very open and aromatic compared to the 95, but cleary lacking the depth. 87

1997 Ca del Pazzo, Sant' Antimo Rosso – 15.99
My favorite of the tasting. The sweet tannins and acidity are very prominent, but the floral blackberry aromatics lead to ripe red-currant fruit, asian spices, vanilla, and meat on a lingering finish. A nice deal at $16, I bought two bottles. 90/91
