Villa Le Prata’s 2003 Brunello di Montalcino offers an attractive core of plump red fruits intermingled with spices, smoke, flowers and subtle oak nuances. This generous Brunello possesses outstanding length and a pretty note of freshness on the finish that gives the wine its terrific balance. It is a very representative, not to mention highly pleasurable, Brunello in the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.Importer: Vinity Wine Company, Emeryville, CA; tel. (510) 601-6010

This is concentrated, with impressive berry, plum and raspberry aromas that follow through to a full body, with an impressive concentration of fruit and pretty vanilla and cedar undertones. Very long and pretty. Impressive for the vintage. Best after 2010. 330 cases made.??–JS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
