The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is the most polished, refined wine I have ever tasted from Loacker. Ripe, silky tannins support a core of expressive dark red fruit in this gracious, mid-weight wine. Floral notes add lift on the finish. Sweet, succulent and expressive, the 2008 should drink well for the next handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.

The black cherry and raspberry notes offer sweetness in this juicy, fruity red. The structure is bright, displaying solid, well-structured tannins. Shows fine balance and length overall, with just a hint of new oak on the finish. Best from 2015 through 2030.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
