2008 Cupano, Brunello di Montalcino 1x750ml

Robert Parker 90

Cupano’s 2008 Brunello di Montalcino stands out for its textural richness, depth and persistence. A beautifully layered wine, the 2008 emerges from the glass with sweet dark cherries, tobacco, licorice, menthol and tar, all of which come alive in a sensual style that is very appealing. As always, Cupano’s is one of the richest wines of the zone, but all the elements are very much in balance. The bouquet isn’t as focused as it could be, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine that delivers so much personality and character. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018.
