($35) Full red. Aromas and flavors of dried red berries, plum, bitter cherry, cola and leather. Sweet, ripe and expansive on the palate, with an attractive sugar/acid balance. Finishes firm and persistent, with sweet, building, dusty tannins and a hint of leather. (Rose Importing, Crestwood, IL; Wine Emporium, Brooklyn, NY; Siema L.L.C., Springfield, VA)

Fanti's deep, almost purplish-colored 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is a simple, one-dimensional offering showing notes of super-ripe, jammy dark fruit, raisins and licorice with good length and a soft, supple personality. Though well-made from a technical standpoint, it shows little of the complexity or pedigree that one expects from a Brunello.

Fabulous aromas of blackberry, cherry, meat and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with masses of velvety tannins and loads of fruit. This is a blockbuster. This shows fabulous everything. Very close to the legendary 1999.
