It was strongly recommended to decant this Brunello, which I did for 1 ½
hour. Wow, what exquisite aromatics from this Brunello with aromas of ripe
plum, sour cherry, dried violet, cedar, vanilla and slightly earthy and spicy.
On the mouthfeel, medium bodied with alcohol at 14%, dry with sour-edged
flavours of cherry and plum, spicy with crisp acidity and fine silky tannins.
This Sangiovese based wines finish is long with soft seductive fruit, spicy
with fine tannin grip lingering. This is a good example why I like Sangiovese
so much, it makes a very pleasant food wine. Poggiotondo Brunello Di Montalcino
2006 is a more feminine style of Brunello, very polished and elegant. Strongly
recommended, score 92 points.
