Ripe fruit flavors, spice. The right amount of age to taste the subtle more savory flavors.

Aug 26th, 2018Thanks to the wine staff at Frasca for steering me to this. Wonderful dinner, great staff. Taste just kept moving around, in a wonderful kind of way. Strawberry multiple ways, licorice, pencil, dust. 14.5 ABV, and just mellow as can be. Loved it, as did Jan, who did much more than her usual 2 sips. And yes, Frasca has outstanding wine service!

1 person found it helpfulMay 4th, 2017Certainly not modern in character, but also not that classic, the elegance and purity here are a rare occurrence in Montalcino where power, firm structure and oak (modernists) dominate the landscape.
A beautiful and sensual wine, the tannin are fine but firm, and fruit and nuance are tightly wound. This is all primary still at 9 years of age from nose to finish so wait a few more years.
2007 was warm growing season, but there is not even a trace of heat.

Dec 5th, 2016Opened up after an hour or so. Leathery and sour, burnt brown in color, medium -bodied. Disappointed in this brunello for the price.
