Le Ragnaie, Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne 2007 Allegrini Raisin like characters through each

Raisin like characters through each layer

this fresh and smooth Pinot Noir is full of strawberry and roses

Medium-to full-bodied

Coming from Cantina Paolini's Premium range this is a giving wine

But then there are masses of sweet fruit with liquorice surrounded in a scratchy skein of tannins and acidity

Le Ragnaie, Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne 2007 Allegrini Raisin like characters through eachBolder nose compared with the 2008, but firmly in the herbal corner. Maturing Sangiovese fruit. There is real concentration but still far from open. Wonderful chewy tannins, and really maturing, yet still compact. How is this possible? Very long. Walter Speller, jancisrobinson. com (17++)
