Brunello upon beer

Having drunk more Amstel Light than is healthy for the palate, I cracked open the Tenuta Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino, 2001 two nights ago. The nose was gorgonzola dolce and spinach. The palate was unripe strawberries, raspberry jam and balsamic vinegar, with vegetal notes of brussel sprouts and arugula. There is an egg-yolk richness in this wine, married with a roast meat and bacon vivaciousness. With its two years in oak imparting an agreeable toastiness, which only enhanced the taut fruit to acid balance of this wine, my deadened palate came alive again, to the tune of savoring half a bottle in short order.
