Mocali Brunello di Montalcino 2007

Im Bouquet überwiegen die Aromen von gedörrten Früchten wie Datteln, Bananen, Kirschen mit einem interessanten Anflug von Pfirsich. Getrocknete Kräuter - Salbei, Lorbeer und Minze - werden von einer Prise Zimt und Nelke untermalt. Mit saftiger Geschmackskonzentration, dezenter Extraktsüsse und satten Gerbstoffen zeigt er sich am Gaumen kraftvoll und elegant zugleich und endet mit einem von Mokka und zartschmelzender Bitterschokolade geprägten Abgang.

The Mocali Brunello 2004 is a very fine example of an outstanding vintage- and at this price, so far below its peers- it is not to be missed! The aroma is so very pure, fresh and inviting. In the mouth, the wine offers beautiful fruit qualities enhanced by aging in large Slovenian casks. The wine is very expressive and very long even at this early stage, with very fine-grained tannins in a superbly elegant finale. You can put this Bruello away in your cellar if you want, but it is absolutely delicious right now!

Mocali's 2001 Brunello di Montalcino is a refined, elegant effort with layers of vibrant, plump cherry fruit, tobacco, menthol, underbrush and minerals. Though medium in body it shows excellent concentration and juiciness on the palate, with notable length, fine tannins and a long finish. With some air it put on considerable weight and I preferred its overall balance to that of the single-vineyard Raunate. A few years of bottle age will help smooth the youthful tannins, but this Brunello is pretty tasty right now. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2019.
