The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Caprili presents cherries in liqueur, herbs, baking spices and sweet toasted oak with excellent clarity and precision Made in a vibrant, super-ripe style, it offers good concentration although the hard, unpolished tannins clip the finish and ultimately convey an impression of limited finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2009 - 2016.
