Today I anted up for 3 more blts of the '04 Il Poggione Brunello Di Montlacino to make 7 btls bought and one drank so far. I usually only buy 3-4 btls top of everything I own with 3 being my goal whenever possible. I opened up one of my '04 Il Poggione BDMs in September and fell in love with it! The Il Poggione is really elegant, fresh & most of all complex. Just amazing stuff. Kind of a Burgundian BDM. Then I spent the next month agonizing over the fact that I bought my first 4btls for $39.95 (a complete steal) and squaring that with the new market $50+ pricing available from guys I trust. So, today I anted up for 3 more and have no regrets as this stuff drinks like a $100+ wine. This is the only wine over $40 that I bought 6 btls plus of this year.
Not many.

Not much, but it’s telling about where my heart is (and where the deals are because these were all screaming deals).

P.S.S. I’m glad you’re loving that '04 Il Poggione because I’ve got a six-pack hidden away in the cellar and was worried they wouldn’t live up to the hype.
