This medium to full-bodied, highly structured wine possesses fine ripeness, a spicy, forward, undeveloped nose, and the high acidity and tough tannin that mark so many wines of this vintage. After 5-6 more years of cellaring, it should turn out to be a very good, but hardly inspirational example of Brunello di Montalcino.
