La Serena`s 2008 Brunello di Montalcino explodes from the glass with a heady mélange of aromas and flavors. Mocha, espresso, licorice, plums and the blackest of cherries saturate the palate. A large-scaled, voluptuous Brunello, the 2008 could use another year or two in bottle to settle down a bit further. It should drink well for another handful of years. There is plenty of La Serena`s typical boldness in the glass. 91+ points
