Sweet and liqueur-like, with aromas of red licorice, candied cherries and caramel. In the mouth, the flavor of brown sugar rides high over the creamy palate. Too heavy for the category, and lacking in excitement. 1 Note

This wine is better than many Brunellos. It offers laudable richness, excellent balance, and pure chocolate and berry flavors along with captivating spice notes. Yes, it’s another modern, chewy red from Pacenti, one that will surely please the new-age palate. 1 Note

Rather reduced, with a touch of peanut to the tight nose. The question here is whether more time will allow this wine to open, or is it simply lacking in complexity? For now it seems condensed and punched down, good but plain as the category goes. Hold until 2006. 1 Note

A stunningly complete, cool-as-can-be modern wine with great color, lush plum and berry fruit, and very little of the earth and leather notes that some Brunello-istas may be seeking. However, if you like texture, sublime flavors of chocolate and charcoal, and perfectly integrated oak, this is for you. Consider drinking in 2005 or 2006. 1 Note

There’s a tutti-frutti glossiness to this wine that helps liven understated aromas such as light coffee, rose pedal, white cherry, cinnamon and violet. Well-structured and constructed with tight, sour tannins on the end. 1 Note

A perfumey and sensual wine with dried lavender, rosehip tea, violets, cranberry and herbal notes. Very floral in the mouth as well ,where it boasts a crisp, clean impact, medium weight, firm tannins and long persistency. 1 Note

Raspberry aromas are a bit earthy and muddled. The palate is on the heavy side, fully laced with a strawberry lollipop flavor. A light, creamy, oaky finish seals the deal. 1 Note

Executed in a traditional style, this vibrant wine exhibits clean and enduring notes of cherry, lavender, white mushroom, cola and eucalyptus leaf. From a 52-acre vineyard in Castellina in Chianti, it has a fresh, fruity feel with some bitter cherry on the close. 1 Note

The wine makes a wonderful first impression thanks to its vibrant intensity and penetrating aromas of cherry, cola, almond and spice. Shaped by consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini, it would do an excellent job of cleaning the palate after a steaming dish of spaghetti, grated Parmigiano cheese and tomato sauce. 1 Note

You’ll like the linear intensity and deeply penetrating notes of almond skin, cola, root beer and wild spice that keep your senses alive and refreshed. The balsam notes give the wine lift and buoyancy and promise a wide range of pairing possibilities, from pasta to grilled meats. The mouthfeel is toned and tight with loads of fresh fruit. 1 Note
