π·This Sangiovese-based wine was a lovely complement to roasted pork shoulder on toast from @barlagrassa
π This wine is medium ruby.
π On the nose this wine has medium intensity of developing aromas including notes of blackberry bramble, plum, fig, black cherry, anise, licorice, fennel, white pepper, leather, clove, nutmeg, cedar, and earth.
π On the palate this wine is dry, it has medium(+) acidity, a full body, high alcohol, medium(+) tannins and medium(+) intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. It has a medium(+) finish.
In sum, this is a delicious wine with a strong structure and great concentration of aromas and flavors. It could benefit with further aging to fully integrate all dimensions and add complexity.
Argiano, Brunello di Montalcino, vintage 2015, ABV 14%.

Though a bit young, this expressive Brunello has hints of licorice, floral, lavender and mother Earth. Will show very well in about 2 years for at least a decade beyond that. It's also great value of you can find it
