The book on 2007 Brunello hasn't been written; frankly, the first chapter has yet to be penned. This is a vintage that will no doubt struggle in the shadow of 2006, yet by most accounts (James Suckling, Antonio Galloni) the wines lack little for concentration or punch. To some extent, 2007 seems to show a lot of what made 2006 such a blockbuster year, really stunning, beautiful fruit, the kind of sweet perfumes that inspire poetry. Perhaps the wines have a smaller frame, they are a bit more compact. They do not quite have the extreme depth of the 2006s.
