The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna la Casa is more defined and sharply etched compared to the Brunello annata. Yet, it also shows some of those green, bramble-like aromas that I described in the base Brunello. The wine is tonic, crisp and delineated by forest berry, wild blueberry and black currant. Balsam herb and leather appear at the rear. The mouthfeel is compact and streamlined but it should flesh out further with a bit more time in the bottle. The wine is definitely too young to drink now.
