The 2000 Brunate Riserva was an amazing way to begin our vertical tasting, as it completely transcended our expectations for the vintage. The bouquet was incredibly pretty, showing dried roses, crushed strawberry, sweet exotic spices, minerals and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, I found soft textures offset by tart cherry and zesty acidity, as earth tones and hints of sous bois emerged. The finish was long, displaying a refined tension, as perfectly ripe tannin lingered amidst notes of tart cherry and minerals.
