A huge wine with unbalanced #abv and ripe fruit. A touch of horse saddle added to the great complexity. Unfortunately the palate was clumsy and the tannins were a little gritty. #brunellodimontalcino #ilpoggione #tuscany #brunello #ctbucklinwine

Garnet color, spicy, leathery nose, ripe red fruit, baking spices, medium tannins and acidity. Sound wine.

This was a late addition to a tasting of 2007 Tuscan wines I held last week, and was the only Brunello in the bunch. It was served last. Everyone really enjoyed this wine. After almost 4 hours of decanting, it delivered a silky mouth feel, terrific black cherry fruit, and perfect balance of acidity, fruit, and tannins. A sweet spice accent showed up in the finish. This was one of the best bottles of Il Poggione I’ve had to date. Delicious.
