Maybe it's not too terribly popular to admit, but Argiano is one of my go-to Brunello producers.Luckily, the wine isn't difficult to find. I tasted the 2004 ** recently at Serrafina. It was served slightly too warm and without decanting - so not off to a great start.This is deep garnet, almost translucent purple. Displaying a very reticent and primary nose of dried flowers, with nice acidity on the midnote and seemlessly integrated soft dry tannin. This is very nicely balanced and it opened up considerably after almost an hour to display more typical dark fruit/tar and chalky Brunello notes. It will receive a higher score if served at a proper termperature and with proper aeration and/or bottle age.
