Tasting notes
Medium red. High-pitched aromas of cherry, rose petal, sandalwood and exotic spices. Dense, ripe and primary, with lovely energy and a restrained sweetness. Very fresh, pristine 2007 Brunello, still a bit youthfully tight. The broad finish features a fine dusting of tannins and strong lingering fruit.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Fossacolle is gorgeous in this vintage. Freshly cut flowers, plums, spices, licorice and mint are all woven together in this rich, generous wine. The 2007 impresses for its fabulous depth and power. Layers of dark red fruit saturate the palate on the intense finish. Everything is in the right place. The Brunello was aged one year in French oak barrels followed by a second year in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
Concentrated but evolved-looking ruby with orange tinges. Quite mature with a distinct note of dried fruit. Quite bold tannin and seems to lack a bit of fruit to offset this. Mid term. Touch dry on the finish. (WS)
