Report 31: Brunello di Montalcino
Nuanced nose showing spicy red cherry fruit with a light leather note. The palate is densely fruited of red cherry with notes of earth and even tobacco. Shows superb structure and a very long, refined finish with dry tannins that require more time in bottle to soften.

Drink 2014 - 2022
The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is a big, bold wine. Clean, vibrant veins of minerality provide the backbone for expressive dark cherries, licorice, mint and sweet spices. This is a fairly broad-shouldered 2007 with tons of fruit and structure. Sweet spiced notes wrap around the sensual, soft finish. The 2007 Brunello spent three years in oak. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. Importer: Artisan Wine, Norwalk, CT; tel. (203) 866-4552

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul 12
Bright, medium cherry-red. Cool aromas of sour cherry and menthol; smells a bit green but gains perfume with air. Juicy and leanish in the mouth, with good energy and floral lift to the penetrating sour cherry and spice flavors. An elegant and aromatic wine with a light touch and plenty of harmonious acidity. Not especially fleshy but the finish is floral and persistent. 90 Points
