This Brunello di Montalcino shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of black
cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco,
licorice, chocolate, coffee, menthol and pink pepper. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is
persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blueberry. A well made
wine. This Brunello di Montalcino ages for 24 months in barrique followed
by at least 8 months of aging in bottle. |
