Notes

This has the allure, refinement and Burgundian character of the regular Brunate with extra layer and intensity. Wonderfully beguiling and brooding, dancing flavours of cherry, cherry stone, sloe and strawberry with darker touches of earth, sweet spice and mocha, finishing on bright minerals and fresh flowers. Deep, powerful but noble and very sophisticated. From a single parcel of old vines within Brunate planted in 1942, produced in the same way as the other Cru wines – aged for 24 months in 40% new oak barrels. Circa 1200 bottles were made.

Notes

Moderately saturated medium red. Subtle, pure aromas of raspberry, cinnamon, rose petal and truffle. Silky on entry, then shows superb mid-palate lift, with harmonious acidity framing and intensifying the strawberry and spice flavors. Offers superb density without weight. Finishes subtle and very long. These two outstanding Brunate examples from 2007 offer great early appeal but I still find the 2008s to be a bit more urgent and structured.
