Il Poggione Red Wine

Tuscany, Italy- "So many sour cherries rise up from the glass, along with orange rind and lemon peel. The full-bodied palate has a very serious and concentrated core of florals and fruit, and the tannins have an iron-fisted, strapping build. Long, chewy and structured."

Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy- "A huge, dramatic wine, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva literally explodes from the glass. This is a decidedly exuberant, flashy wine loaded with dark fruit. Tobacco, smoke, tar and licorice all come alive in this big, broad-shouldered Riserva."

Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy - "Depths of mineral-encased black cherries, sage, allspice, licorice, tobacco & crushed violets lift up from the glass. It's seamlessly silky, even as the palate is peppered with tart red & black berries, nervous acids & savory exotic spices."

Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy - "...aromas of black cherry, plum, tar, campfire ash & chalky mineral... Fruit from old vines shape complex aromas, elegant tannins & bright freshness..."

Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy - "Rather sweet due to the super ripe vintage. But there's also great subtlety, enormous depth and a ton of tannin behind the opulence. The super long finish is incredibly focused."
