Patrizio Cencioni's 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a robust but slightly timid wine at the onset that needs a few more years of bottle aging to flesh out further. The fundamentals are all there: It offers a thick load of dark fruit followed by nuanced touches of leather, licorice and cooling cherry cola. There's a touch of menthol brightness as well that adds a sense of lift and vibrancy. Importer: Masciarelli Wine, www.masciarelliwine.com
