Two bottles were tasted and neither seemed up to snuff; they weren’t obviously corked, yet still very subdued in aroma and flavour. The second bottle was better, though with shy aromas and one-dimensional pomegranate and dried cherry flavours. Austerely tannic. (LM)

Poggio Antico's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is the more classic of the two Brunellos. It reveals a pretty, accessible expression of earthiness, tobacco and ripe red fruit with lovely density and purity. The tannins are particularly finessed within the context of the vintage yet the wine comes across as more tightly wound than is normally the case. On the plus side, a lingering note of sweetness from the oak frames the long finish.

Aromas of black cherry and mineral, with hints of flowers. Full-bodied, with pretty fruit, soft tannins and a medium finish. Balanced for the vintage.
