The loaded 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is packed tight with mature tones of dark fruit, cherry liqueur, kirsch, cola and dark spice. There’s a dusty, earth note that grounds the wine to a sense of Sangiovese and the special territory that shapes this sun-drenched wine. The wine is a little hot on the palate (with 14.5% alcohol) and overcharged in places, but it also offers a cheerful dose of genuine personality. Drink: 2016-2022.

Dark ruby with only the beginning of orange. Closed and really reluctant on the nose. Rich concentration on the palate with a proper tannic structure. Long and rich while building up the attention span right down to the long finish. (WS)
