  Maxflight of Brunellos (Wilmot Wine Emporium): Part of a Brunello tasting with three vintages of Talenti as the feature event. Dark Garnet with a slight brick rim. Puzzling nose at first. Not offering up much on the fruit side of bouquet. More a savoury, earthy nose. Some alcohol heat on the nose and on the palate. Wine was barely balanced at first. Crunchy red fruit and spice notes. Acidity was the highest of all Talenti BdM's tasted. As the 07 started to fade this began to gets its act together. Had a good core of lively red fruit and went well with the aged cheese board and savoury pate. Deserves a long decant.

  A little oxidation right out of the bottle. This cleared up and drank very well, with leather, tobacco and some ripe cherry lurking underneath. Firm.

  Very nice mid weight traditional BdM. Nice to drink but nothing to distinguish it.

  2008: Medium red with pale tawny edge. Sour cherry, leather, raspberry nose. This is open in the mouth, with sour cherry being dominant and the tannin strong and smooth. There is richness but not great detail.
  
  2010: Medium red with tawny edge, ever so little darker and younger looking than 2008. Nose has cherry, raspberry and a vanilla oak imprint. Dark red berries, menthol, with a grippy tannic spine. Long fruit and tar finish.
