Il Palazzone’s 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a fresh, fragrant wine redolent of raspberries, strawberries, flowers and sweet spices. This mid-weight Brunello is notable for its engaging, approachable personality and soft, round finish. Ideally, it is best enjoyed on the young side while the fruit remains fresh. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

Strawberry and floral aromas lead to a medium body, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Lacks a center palate. Slightly diluted. A little disappointing. Drink now. 960 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
