Note di degustazione
Good full red. Plum, redcurrant, coffee, menthol and a whiff of woodsy underbrush on the nose. In a brooding, somewhat inky style, solid and somewhat youthfully undifferentiated. Initially the wine's acidity and serious tannins seemed to clash, but with aeration this showed a much more pliant, plush texture. Less floral and high-pitched than the regular bottling but with more sweetness.

The estate's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Manachiara is made in a distinctly riper style, with more overt oak influence. Notes of jammy dark fruit, chocolate and roasted coffee beans flow from this super-ripe, masculine wine. It offers a darker profile and a rounder, texture than the normal bottling, but the tannins remain somewhat hard and unpolished. Still, this is a pretty, modern-styled Brunello to drink over the next few years.
