The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with sweet tobacco, spices, new leather, licorice and dried cherries. There is lovely complexity in the aromatics and more than enough depth in the fruit for the wine to drink well for a number of years. Sweet spices and crushed flowers add depth on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons Ltd, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700

Rich, bordering on opulent, this supple red displays plum, cherry, tobacco and spice flavors. Balanced toward the alcohol, with some heat and dense tannins on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2024. 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
