The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino fleshes out beautifully on the palate. This is an especially dark, voluptuous Brunello with shades of blue and black fruit, licorice, spices and tobacco. Layers of fruit flow effortlessly to the round, polished finish, where floral notes add an element of brightness. The 2007 is bold, juicy and forward. Readers who enjoy the fruit-driven side of Brunello will find much to admire. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
