It’s ready, it’s time. Might be a little bit past it’s prime but should still be good.

Drink now! After opening many bottles of aged Brunello as a restaurant somm, I found that only the very top producers age past 20 years. Check out the CellarTracker reviews if you want a second opinion.

I think it’s ready to drink. If you wait too long, it might go bad.

It’s ready to drink for sure! Open and let us know how it is. Hopefully cellared properly.

Drink now for sure. Open a few hours in advance, take a sip and see where it’s at. You may need an emergency replacement bottle or you may be in dreamland.
I’ve had awesome bottles of Poggione (Riserva and normal) but I’ve also had some that seemed to have matured a LOT faster than others from the same box.
Good luck and I hope it’s a winner.

I would say that it’s probably in a good place now. But I’ve also drank couple of riserva 88s last year, from poggione and they were unbelievably youthful and absolutely amazing. Even the 93s I had which were not Riserva, drank amazingly.

My general rule for brunello prime is somewhere near the 15 year range for “peak” This greatly depends on prdocuder/vintage as some are obviously spectacular up to 20 and some are better closer to 10. This is one of those producer separating discussions for me personally.

Ooh baby, I love Il Poggione. This wine is probably towards the end of its peak, but you can’t know for sure until you pop the bottle. 2004 was a fantastic vintage, so if this bottle held up, it should be spectacular. Have fun and let us know how it is!
