* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The wine opens with dark concentration and color and segues to notes of black currants, dark cherry, plum and prunes. The quality of the fruit has been well preserved here, compared to other Brunello from this hot vintage. In fact, the wine delivers its best qualities on the nose: firm, tense tannins dominate the mouth.

This Sangiovese-based wine is redolent of smoked bacon, sweet barbecue sauce and campfire. Yet it goes down easy and smoothly thanks to the dense fruit flavors that enliven the palate.

Mocali’s vineyard-designate Brunello offers dense black fruit and enduring aromas of prune, plum, spice and cherry cola. The wine has a natural fatness to it—highlighted by its creamy, bold texture—and ends with a playful touch of smoke and mesquite. Hold through 2012.
