Tasting notes
The estate's 20008 Brunello di Montalcino offers up scents of plum, tar, soy and cloves, all of which come together in a fairly rich, generous style with considerable early appeal. A tasty yet straightforward offering, Renieri's 2008 should continue to drink well for a number of years.

Dark mature-looking ruby with narrow orange rim. Sweetly perfumed and almost exotic at first. Compact cherry and candied fruit and waves of grainy tannins. Well balanced and with good extract. Not for now, but deserves the wait. (WS)
