Black cherry and something like marzipan. Fine tannins, rounded yet insistent. Long, leathery, boot-polish finish. (RH)

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is gorgeous. It may be the very best wine I have ever tasted from San Polo. Sweet red cherries, flowers, mint and spices are woven together beautifully in this juicy, sexy Brunello. The 2007 keeps getting better with time in the glass. Readers looking for a Brunello that will drink well with a minimum of cellaring will find a lot of pleasure here.

Mid ruby with orange tinge. Elegant black tea and cherry nose. Elegant palate too with good balance. Not hugely complex but very attractive. (WS)
