This wine takes its sweet time to open but once it does, you’ll get tart cherry, cedar, tobacco, coffee bean, violet and vanilla. Firm, chewy tannins back a bitter note and dusty minerality in the mouth. Imported by Vinifera Imports.

Sweet vanilla and toasted almond are backed by mature notes of berry fruit and exotic spice. The aromas are bold and penetrating but the wine falls short in the mouth because of its firm, bitter tannins.

This is a nicely balanced wine with bright cherry and berry flavors that are offset by sweet spice, almond and toasted oak. The wood elements already show integration and will continue to diminish with time. Give this wine five or so more years of cellar aging.

This is a very pleasurable, smooth and rich Riserva that lavishes layers of chocolate fudge, vanilla bean and bright cherry. Overall, it shows good intensity and smooth consistency.

Here’s a Brunello with thick concentration and broad aromas of mesquite smoke, black cherry and Indian spice. Despite that bold bouquet the wine is actually tight and compact in the mouth, where it performs with easy elegance thanks to its bright acidity and lively wild berry flavors.

Here’s a tight and compact expression from Montalcino with bright tones of cherry wood, wild berries and violets that are delivered in steady aromatic pulses. The finish is not too long or persistent, but the flavors are fresh and very tasty while they last.

Here’s another superstar Brunello Riserva from the excellent 2004 vintage. The aromas are rich and penetrating and recall cherry liqueur, cola, mesquite, cedar, wet earth and pressed violets. The wine’s texture is streamlined and compact with polished tannins.

You could easily pair this food-friendly Rosso di Montalcino with roasted chicken with rosemary potatoes and garlic. The nose here is bright and penetrating with earthy notes, mineral tones and loads of bright berry fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and there’s a touch of cherry sweetness as well.
