The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is one of those wines that is just born young

strangely making me think of Danish pastry towards the well-defined finish

This doesn’t have quite the same grace as the Combottes but it’s definitely a quality effort as it’s built-to-age and a wine that’s going to need at least half a dozen years of patience first while rewarding 15+

muscular and classy finish

This is also aromatically super-fresh with a lovely mélange of plum

Serafin Pere et Fils, Morey Saint Denis Millandes other_regions The 2008 Brunello di MontalcinoThis is every bit as elegant as the Fontenys but quite firm like the VV, offering a pretty mix of red berry fruits and hints of game, anise and warm iron infused earth notes trimmed in a touch of wood that introduce moderately structured middle weight flavors that are restrained yet sweet, all wrapped in a precise, punchy and mineral based finish. I like this but be aware that there is rigor here so it will require some patience. 90 2012+
