2001 Brunello Tasting Scoreboard (Updated 12/2007)

The scores are from 3 tastings which were previously blogged (December 2006, February 2007 & March 2007). When multiple bottles were tasted I averaged the scores. Wines have been also been added to the scoreboard retroactively subsequent to the tastings . If a previously scored wine is tasted/drunk again within a year of a previous sample a new score is added.
