I'm pretty sure that is an awesome bottle of wine. I love Brunello di Montalcino. That's a good price too. I wonder how much longer it has in the bottle... Very tempting

About 5 years according to the experts. Here are the reviews posted on their website: Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2009
By International Wine Report LISINI Brunello di Montalcino 2009 Points: 93
The 2009 Lisini is one of the few Brunello's which I have tasted from this vintage that will need time before it hits full stride. At this stage it is a bit restrained, but all the elements are there. It's clean, elegant and made in a traditional style. Right now it's just a bit tight and not giving much more than cherry, wild berries and dried floral at this young age. The fine, silky tannins are tightly wound, ending with a firm, chewy finsh. This shows remarkable structure and elegance for the vintage and is certain to blossom into a beauty given time. This is a classy display of Sangiovese from a house with excellent history. (Best 2017-2026) - March, 2014 (JD)
By Wine Spectator LISINI Brunello di Montalcino 2009 Score: 91 Release Price: $78 Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Issue: Jul 31, 2014 This red bursts with cherry, strawberry and floral aromas and flavors, married to a firm structure. Elegant, with vibrant acidity driving the flavors to a lingering aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Best from 2016 through 2026. 2,500 cases made. -BS
By James Suckling Lisini Brunello di Montalcino Score: 91 Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Vintage: 2009 Date: February 8th, 2014 A rich, layered wine for the vintage, with dried berry and hints of cocoa and earth. Full-bodied, balanced and succulent. Delicious already.
By Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media Lisini 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Points: 90
Sant'angelo in Colle, Tuscany
Red wine from Italy
Drinking window: 2014 - 2020
The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its textured personality and overall complexity. Dark red stone fruit, savory herbs, licorice, menthol and slate all flesh out in a layered expressive Brunello with tons of pure appeal. This is a decidedly powerful, authoritative Brunello from Lisini. There is no shortage of personality here. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: February 2014
By Azienda Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Vineyard Notes Considered one of the greatest expressions of the Italian enology, the Brunello of Montalcino is produced exclusively with grapes of the homonymous vitigno which is a variety of Sangiovese grosso. The Brunello of Montalcino of the Lisini Farm, has outstanding characterics due to a continued care of the new plants grown with traditional methods, never forced, but carefully selected by thinning out the brunches during their growth and finally choosing the grapes during the vintage. If you add to all this the modern methods of wine-making, the result is exceptional even when the season has not been favorable. This is how one of the most famous Italian enologists has defined the Brunello of Montalcino Lisini: D.O.C.G.: origin controlled and guaranteed approval.

This ripe wine opens with aromas of stewed black fruit, underbrush, prune, and a just whiff of farmyard. The palate reveals nearly overripe black cherry, cinnamon and clove alongside bracing, astringent tannins. (5/1/2014) -88

2009 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino
Winery: Lisini
Style: Red Wine
Varietal: Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
By Ian D'Agata
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 14
Deep red. Fresh red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by mint and tar. Red cherry and licorice flavors are brightened by a zesty mineral quality and framed by slightly gritty tannins, giving the wine a somewhat lean quality. Finishes pleasantly fresh and focused, with the cherry, tar and licorice notes persisting nicely. 88 Points

A Sangiovese Grosso Dry Red Table wine from Italy, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Review by Monica Larner
Wine Advocate # 211 (Feb 2014)
Rating: 87
Drink 2015 - 2020
The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino does not reach the stellar heights of past vintages, notably 2006 and 2007. The wine spends a long 42 months in botte grande and although that great patience does much to increase the wine’s nuances, there also appear to be some oxidized tones of dried apple skin and caramelized sugar. The fruit tones are mature and evolved and the wine imparts a delicate, easy footprint on the palate. A blast of sweet cherry arrives unexpectedly on the close. Drink: 2015-2020.

I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed - I have never been. The only downside to the site is that shipping is slow. Don't be holding your breath waiting for it to arrive. You are better off kind of forgetting about it and then being pleasantly surprised when it eventually arrives.
I just signed up. We love red wines. I currently have about 100+ bottles. We usually have 2 -4 bottles a week. Paired a nice Petite Shirah the other day with pulled pork in corn tortillas. They went pretty well together.
