Tasting notes
Perfumed aromas of raspberry, flowers, mint and licorice are very ripe but attractively high-pitched. Suave and seamless, with lovely energy and lift for the vintage. In fact, this midweight shows distinctly cool spice and menthol notes and noteworthy flavor definition.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino wafts from the glass with an expressive bouquet redolent of pine, savory herbs, menthol, sweet spices, licorice and tobacco. Silky tannins frame the fruit through to the finish. This is an attractive, subtle 2007 that emphasizes finesse more than size.

Mid concentrated ruby with broad orange rim. Very closed and subdued. Spicy and compact. Very fine, integrated acidity. Full, sweet, fruit spread on the finish and appetising tannins. Very long. (WS)
