La Velona
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Excellent integration & evolution. Still ascending.
As one/me might have imagined, dry, sour dark, red, cherries, baked to dried rhubarb, dry blackberries, cedar to sandalwood, dry tobacco, lightly crushed rocks, limestone, dry leaves, sun tea, sandstone, dry florals that are dark, red with violets, excellent acidity and a medium tension, nicely balanced & beautifully knitted , smartly polished finish that lasts nearly two/minutes.

Perfect pair with Christina’s Bolognese Sauce.
Italian red are so astringent w/o this kind of age. At this age, it shows its bright fruits rather than all wood plank and barrel toast young. It takes this kind of age to shine. Roughly 18 years in bottle and it is near its peak.

Dry herbs-sage lead, bay leaf, moist, grey, volcanic clay, sandstone, sandalwood, light dry, tobacco notes, dry brush, dry top soil, powdery dry rocks, some cola, cocoa powder, dark spice, baking spices- clove, light nutmeg, touch of cinnamon, light vanillin, withering red roses, excellent acidity, perfect balance, tension, structure, length and a two-minute finish.

Very evolved. Earth, resolved plums. Mature tasty. Good with grilled half chicken marinated in mustard sauce.
