Wine Tasting: 2009 Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino

Tonight I'm going with a Brunello.   I had two of these, but opened the first one with company and didn't get a chance to take tasting notes.  I saved this one specifically so I could take notes.

2009 Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino

Tasting Notes:
Fully bodied and dark ruby in color (definitely not brown) with scents of licorices, and bramble fruit. On the palette black cherry with a raw tobacco and volcanic rock. A spirited finish and nice acidic balance.

Final Thoughts:
Good quality and tasty Brunello.  I feel it lacks some of the wow factor I expected from it, but generally a very good wine.
