  Bottles have arrived.  I checked prices and reviews and, if that's ... a winner.  Three (3) Brunelli from '07 and '08, both very good years.  I'm so far leaning toward the '08s, good young but fairly traditional, but I'm liking the following years from the "aughts": '00 (good), '01 (fantastic), '04 (outstanding, and hitting their stride now wi...

  Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino 2009

  Snoothrank:

  The nose is dark and firm, with black cherry skins, mineral Earth, and serious floral notes on top and a suggestion of spearmint. The palate is finessed, with great strength underneath, showing elegant red cherry, and raspberry, with Asian spice, and fine texture. Notes of charred Earth accent the structure, which is complete and balanced, albei... Read More

  Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Red cherry skins, and dried flowers lead the way on the nose with some clay Earth, mineral, and meatiness. The palate is nicely balanced, with finesse, showing more firm red cherry and floral notes, followed by a long, dusty finish.
