Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Subdued but sexy aromas of cherry, dried flowers and truffley underbrush. Silky, suave and rich, with lovely red fruit intensity. This youthful midweight is surprisingly approachable now owing to its sweetness and fine grain but has the balance and stuffing to age gracefully. Finishes with suave tannins and noteworthy persistence.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino saturates the palate with deep layers of fruit. This is a fabulous, highly expressive Brunello with virtually no hard edges and superb overall balance. It is one of the more approachable young wines I have ever tasted from this historic Montalcino estate. I imagine the 2007 will enjoy a broad window of drinkability beginning nearly upon release.

Concentrated, mid ruby with slight orange tinge. Compact, subdued and very backward. Won't allow itself to be pulled out of the glass even when swirled energetically. Clever oak management, good balance. Lots of sweet fruit seems to secure a bright future. Big. (WS)
