The Nardi Brunello Di Montalciano 2008 evokes a warm, still afternoon in a deciduous forest, the sort where you can hear twigs snapping under your feet. Splendid, woodsy aromas of forest floor, brambles, dried leaves, mushrooms, and dried black cherries. Silky and voluptuous on the palate, with firm, polished tannins that plunge into the substrata—densely packed layers of calcareous earth, sandstone, and marl surface against a backdrop of black fruit. Dried herbs, cedar and tobacco on a lingering finish.

2nd time I've had this wine and it always has a musty taste to me. Tannins are gripping, fruit is great but a minute in the glass that disappears and you have that musty taste. Tannins remain.

Soft texture. Great balance. Cinnamon, baked raspberry, blueberry, tiny bit of pepper.

Fabulous! Perfect with steak and scallops. Decanting was necessary, but just barely.
