9.0

A gem of baked cherry and strawberry pie deep inside an old dank mountain cave. A touch of bret, deteriorating deciduous leaf, reminiscent of long-issued French Oak. Framed by an ancient expression of organically starved terroir. — 11 years ago

The Nardi Brunello Di Montalciano 2008 evokes a warm, still afternoon in a deciduous forest, the sort where you can hear twigs snapping under your feet. Splendid, woodsy aromas of forest floor, brambles, dried leaves, mushrooms, and dried black cherries. Silky and voluptuous on the palate, with firm, polished tannins that plunge into the substrata—densely packed layers of calcareous earth, sandstone, and marl surface against a backdrop of black fruit. Dried herbs, cedar and tobacco on a lingering finish. — 11 years ago
