Brunelli Amarone (Toscana Italy)

Displays an intense rudy color with flecks of purple and, on the nose, sweet fruity notes (red currants, blueberries, and cherries) as well as a characteristic hint of vanilla from the oak.  It is particularly majestic on the palate:  its soft, warming sensations are counterpointed by good acidity and excellent tannins that give gratifying balance.  This is an elegant wine, but one of enviable and noteworthy structure.  91 points Wine Enthusiast
