A super-seductive nose of ripe black cherry and dried florals, rounded out by cola spice and deeper wood notes. On the palate, the wine is silky and racy, yet approachable. Fruit, oak, and tannins all equally in check and totally balanced. This beauty is ready to drink now and over the next 7+ years. Superb value!

I appreciate the freshness of this 2005 Brunello that shows dried cherry, flowers and berries. Full and silky, with fine tannins. Clean. Drink now and enjoy.

An important and historic player in Montalcino, Fanti comes forth this year with yet another beautiful Brunello. The wine is elegant and harmonious with bright layers of cherry fruit, spice and cola. The feeling it imparts in the mouth is one of richness and smoothness and there's a playful touch of sour cherry on the close.

Shows dried flowers and mushroom, with plenty of ripe fruit. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins. Reserved and very pretty already. Layered and classy for the vintage. Best after 2012. 5,000 cases made
