Tasting notes
Deep, dark lacklustre ruby. Cherry, indeed but at first a little vegetal/herbal. Very powerful, stalky tannin. Perhaps a little bit too rustic? (WS)

Deep, bright red-ruby. Vibrant aromas of dark cherry, dark berries, cocoa powder and leather. Juicy, bright and primary, with serious density and a solid spine of acids and tannins giving thrust to the powerful dark fruit flavors. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and terrific building length and lift. This really grabs the palate and won't let go. An eminently ageworthy 2007.
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is beautiful. A large-scaled, opulent wine, the 2007 captures the personality of the vintage while retaining fabulous balance and proportion. Layers of dark fruit, mocha, spices and new leather build effortlessly to the huge, palate staining finish. This is a fabulous showing.
