Estimate
...modern and deeply layered Brunello with soft cherry and tobacco aromas backed by chocolate, cookie dough, caramel, licorice and even a touch of dusty white pepper. The chewy pulpiness of the fruit is very attractive, giving the wine extra intensity and softness in the mouth.
A wine with dried fruits and hints of nuts and spices. Medium to full body, with well-integrated tannins and a fruity finish.
...bursts from the glass with an exotic melange of dark fruit, cloves, French oak, spices and menthol. A rich, voluptuous wine, the 2007 is ready to drink today, especially with a little aeration. Layers of fruit continue to build to a huge, textured finish with substantial depth and power. Sweet floral and spice notes add lift on the close.
Slightly high-toned, inviting aromas of dark cherry, strawberry, minerals & lavender, with a hint of game emerging. Then juicy, tight & precise with impressive energy to its deep dark fruit flavors complicated by a hint of candied violet...
Ripe, with cherry and plum notes, offering a medium body and a firm base of tannins. Just a touch dry on the finish, imparting a lasting impression of sweet fruit.
Full bodied but well balanced with a generous dose of fruit, muscular grip and good acidity.
