This bottle was a full-bodied Brunello with good acidity and tannins. The nose had dense fruits of plum, dark cherry and almost a hint of current. The palate had lots of classic plum flavor with soft tannins and luscious finish. It was paired with grilled Pork loin, cheesy potatoes and asparagus.

A very good Brunello but not as complex as the 2004, and I was disappointed in the rather short finish of this vintage. However at $32/bottle, a very good option.

Light in color, oaky and woody, not an overpowering wine. Well balanced. Bits of sage and lavender.
