The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino offers up sweet red cherries, French oak, spices and vanillin, all in a flashy fruit-forward style. There is plenty of depth in the glass, but the aromas and flavors are a touch advanced, which suggests the wine will mature on the early side of things. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.

International in style, this offers wood smoke and baking spice aromas, featuring flavors of cherry and tobacco. This is pinched on the finish, with the assertive tannins leaving a dry feel. Best from 2016 through 2028. 850 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
