Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
This Brunello di Montalcino shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing,
refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and
blackberry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, rose, vanilla, tobacco,
licorice, cocoa, cinnamon, pink pepper and menthol. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable smoothness. The
finish is very persistent with long flavors of plum, black cherry and
blackberry. A well made wine. This Brunello di Montalcino ages for about 42
months in cask followed by about 8-9 months of aging in bottle.
