布魯奈羅干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：6029

Caparzo’s 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is impressive. It boasts serious depth, nuance and complexity. Smoke, licorice, spices, black cherries and plums all develop in the glass, supported by firm, beautifully integrated tannins. This is a solid Brunello with plenty of upside for the next decade, if not longer. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028. Caparzo is another historic property that seems to be enjoying a resurgence, something that is great to see. These two new releases are both outstanding.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino wraps around the palate with layers of rich, seductive fruit. There is plenty of expressiveness in the glass, even if the wine loses some of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish. This is a tasty, approachable Brunello that should drink well right out of the gate. The 2007 spent three years in Slavonian and French oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. This is another strong showing from Caparzo, a historic estate that seems to be making a comeback after a period of good but not great wines.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
