The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is a powerful, muscular wine endowed with plenty of dark fruit, minerals, spices and French oak. The balance here is exceptional, as everything is in the right place. Firm yet silky tannins frame the finish with a classy elegance that is tough to find in Montalcino. Suggestions of smoke, earthiness, tar and leather linger on the long, powerful close. Ideally this Brunello needs a few years of bottle age for all of the elements to meld together, but it is already clearly a very special wine. Pian dell’Orino’s 2004 Brunello saw an incredible seven weeks of fermentation on the skins, followed by a whopping 40 months in oak, equal parts cask and medium-size barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. This is a thrilling set of wines from Pian dell’Orino, a small estate owned by Caroline Pobitzer and Jan Hendrik Erbach. The winery sits next to Biondi-Santi, in the heart of Montalcino. A total of six hectares of organically farmed vineyards also includes plots in the southern part of the Brunello zone. In the cellar, long fermentations and extended periods of oak aging are the norm. These beautiful wines are well worth seeking out. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a single-vineyard selection from Pian Bossolino that spent a whopping 47 months in 500-liter French oak barrels. Warm, open aromatics lead to a generous expression of fruit. The aromas and flavors are a touch advanced for a 2004 and it seems reasonable to wonder if this wine spent too much time in oak, considering the barrels are smaller than the casks used for the rest of the Brunello production. The 2004 Riserva packs quite a punch in its fruit, but the evolved, forward quality of the bouquet is troubling and suggests the wine will not be especially long-lived. Three bottles tasted, with consistent notes. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Pian dell’Orino is one the most promising young wineries in Montalcino. I tasted an impressive set of Brunellos from cask during a recent visit. Proprietors Caroline Pobitzer and Jan Erbach have boundless passion, energy and conviction. It will be fascinating to see what develops here in the coming years. The estate itself is centrally located and offers gorgeous view of nearby Il Greppo. The vineyards are located in Montalcino and Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Pian dell’Orino works in a non-interventionalist fashion. Biodynamic farming, long macerations with indigenous yeasts and no fining or filtration are at the heart of the estate’s approach. At their best, these are some of the most compelling wines being made in Montalcino today. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the 2008 Rosso, which had not been bottled by press time.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404
