Note di degustazione
The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura pushes the Brunello boundaries to an extreme. It will probably not appeal to everyone, but no matter how you cut it, this Riserva does indeed offer a memorable and delectable experience. This was a difficult vintage that shows beautifully in this bottling. A dark, inky appearance gives way to bold aromas of pressed fruit, prune and dark spice. The tannins show a degree of softness and are utterly void of that green, astringent after-bite you sometimes get with Brunello. Tangy black pepper and licorice add liveliness to the long finish. Drink: 2017-2027. Importer: Banfi Vintners, www.banfivintners.com

Dark mature-looking ruby with narrow orange rim. Quite mature, yet complex nose. Very ripe fruit with persistent tannins. The fruit goes on and on. Quite rich style, but it works well. Still youthful and with a creamy oak note on the finish. (WS)
