Fanti's 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a forward, juicy wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherries, hard candy, spices and new leather wrap around the silky, layered finish.

The newest release from vintner Filippo Baldassarre Fanti, the 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a gorgeous wine that shows the best side of a warm vintage. The wine opens to a soothing, dark color with loaded aromas of bright fruit, balsam herb, moist earth and cola. The wine veers toward the modern and extracted side of the Brunello spectrum, but it is by no means one-dimensional or heavy. The wine is ready to drink in the near-term but also has the stuffing for moderate aging. Drink: 2016-2023. Importer: Massanois Imports, www.massanois.com
Mid ruby with orange rim. Quite nutty and developed nose with a soft creamy note. Soft sweet and accessible. Just a touch of stewed fruit on the finish. Commercial. (WS)
