Tasting notes
A warm, open bouquet leads to expressive dark plums, mocha, spices and new leather in Pinino's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Pinino. Rich and layered, the 2008 stands out for its exceptional balance and class. This is one of the more full-bodied wines of the vintage, yet all the elements are in the right place. The 2008 can be enjoyed today or cellared.

Impenetrable dark ruby with narrow orange rim. Very mature, sweet and a little stewed. It’s all fruitcake and sweetness and that in generous measures. Fruit harvested overripe? (WS)
