The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino saturates the palate with deep layers of fruit. This is a fabulous, highly expressive Brunello with virtually no hard edges and superb overall balance. It is one of the more approachable young wines I have ever tasted from this historic Montalcino estate. I imagine the 2007 will enjoy a broad window of drinkability beginning nearly upon release. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027. Importer: Pasternak Wine Imports, Harrison, NY; tel. (914) 630-8213

Ripe, showing plum and cherry jam notes, backed by stiff tannins. A little awkward now, this needs time to resolve itself. The finish is sweet, offering sanguine and mineral accents. Best from 2015 through 2026. 1,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
