Collosorbo's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as a bit diluted in this vintage. Sweet floral notes meld into dark red fruit and spiced notes, but the wine never seems to find its balance. The aromas and flavors aren't fully developed, while the mid-palate in particular lacks depth. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018. Importers: Frank E. Johnson, New York, NY; tel. (212) 535-2612; A.

A hefty style, showing balsamic and underbrush flavors underscored by a cherry accent. Broad and rangy, with moderate tannins carrying the astringent finish. Best from 2015 through 2026.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
