The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a big, dense wine. Black fruit, smoke, licorice and tobacco all come to life in this strapping, broad-shouldered wine. The 2007 possesses excellent richness and density, but the aromatics are already headed towards more tertiary, evolved nuances. The fruit is likely to fade before the tannins soften in this powerful, intense Riserva. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2019.
