Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This Brunello di Montalcino shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of black
cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of blueberry, blackberry,
vanilla, rose, tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon and menthol. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is
persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and blueberry. This Brunello
di Montalcino ages for 36 months in cask and barrique. |
