Voliero Brunello di Montalcino 2007

"The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is striking in this vintage, just as it was in 2006. Freshly cut flowers, spices, mint, licorice and tobacco are some of the many notes that jump from the glass in this highly expressive, engaging Brunello. The 2007 shows the freshness and energy of this hillside site on the Montosoli hill with the generosity of the vintage, a very appealing combination in my book. The finish is pure silk and finesse. Once again, the Voliero Brunello is one of the most exciting and complete wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027." -AG 04/2012

"Good full deep, bright red. Scented, soil-driven aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, dried flowers, leather, minerals and tobacco. Suave and sweet on entry, then urgent and penetrating in the middle, with serious acidity giving the wine a distinct firmness and superb inner-mouth energy in its youth. This sappy, ageworthy Brunello finishes with palate-staining floral perfume. I love this style."- ST 94+  07/2012

"Aromas of sliced mushrooms and red fruits, follow through to a full body, with a beautiful core of ripe and balanced fruit and a citrusy aftertaste. Drink or hold. Lovely depth of fruit. Wow. Never tasted this before." 01/2012
