Solaria’s 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is packed with super-ripe fruit, chocolate, grilled herbs and toasted oak sensations. Made in a rich, weighty style, this sleek Brunello offers excellent length although its slightly dry, astringent tannins clip the finish on the back end. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
