Tasting notes
Good bright medium red. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of black cherry and licorice. Dense, sweet and fine-grained; a step up in energy, concentration and depth from the Terra Rossa. Very suave, rich flavors of strawberry, leather and licorice. Solidly structured Brunello, finishing with fine but firm tannins and excellent lift and length.

The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Il Poggiolo is the most structured and powerful of these 2007 Brunelli from Rodolfo Cosimi. It possesses plenty of length and energy. With time in the glass the tannins begin to soften and the fruit emerges. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, leather, licorice and tobacco wrap around the powerful, structured finish. This is a terrific showing.

Deep ruby with orange tinges. Closed and brooding. Sweet fruit core, but immediately closes up again. Lingering finish and good balance. Grows on you. Quite full bodied.
