The 2007 Brunello 'Riserva' from Lisini is a traditional style Sangiovese, with plenty of rustic personality. It opens with aromas of roasted plum and red cherries followed by damp earth and a sweet licorice character. On the palate this is ultra-silky and refined, with soft tannins, and a notable inner-sweetness. It folds in a dark chocolate edge as it makes a seamless transition onto the finish. I expect this to continue to take on some additional characteristics as it evolves with some more bottle age. (Best 2016-2025) - October, 2015 (JD)
