2009 Il Marroneto "Madonna delle Grazie" Brunello di Montalcino

Il Marroneto's Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is darker, richer and rounder than the straight bottling. Black cherries, game, plums, spices and leather wrap around the resonant finish in an expressive wine endowed with considerable depth and nuance, especially within the context of the year. There is more than enough juiciness to support at least a handful of years of good drinking. (AG)
