Brunello di Montalcino, Vigna di Pianrosso, Riserva, Ciacci Piccolomini d`Aragona

Note:

Dark red cherries, menthol, smoke, tar, licorice and game emerge from the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna di Pianrosso Santa Caterina d`Oro. A surprisingly dark and tannic wine with little of the vintage 2007 sexiness, the Riserva is a bit of a mystery today. There is plenty of depth and power in the glass, but less in the way of finesse. I am not sure if the tannins will soften before the fruit begins to fade.
