Tasting notes
The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino emerges with racy, heady, super-ripe dark fruit, truffles, earthiness and spices that is irresistible. The fruit is initially round and harmonious, then loses a touch of depth and persistence on the mid-palate, only to come together nicely again on the finish.
