As is often the case with the best 2008s, the Brunate Riserva was especially vibrant and spicy, showing a bouquet of dusty, mineral-encased black fruits with crushed stone and smoke, gaining volume and depth the longer it spent in the glass. On the palate, I found silky textures, energized and excited by brisk acidity, as a mix of exotic red and black fruits washed across the senses, leaving notes of sweet herbal tea, spice, hard red candies and hint of fine tannin. The finish was long and zesty, showing a mix of ripe cherry and autumnal spice.
