The 2012 Brunello is a very good wine A small traditional winemaker from the south east side of Montalcino This is a very good wine Well balanced but will mature superbly with ageing. A classic Brunello

2010 vintage. Medium ruby hue, very bright. Deep and alluring aromas of red plums, tomato leaf. Oak is providing smoke, sweet spice and vanilla essence. There's a slight violet note. On the palate, full bodied, high acidity - integrated, fine high tannins, pronounced concentration and long finish. Plush oak, plums and red berries, leather and dried meats. Quite a full on wine that also manages a degree of finesse. Much better effort than the unbalanced 2009.

Balanced and elegant, pleasingly persistent. Vivacious tannins, perfect matching with mushrooms or fiorentina!

Плотный пряный аромат вяленой сливы, ликерной вишни, патоки, мускатного ореха. Среднетелое, сочное, с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими танинами; во вкусе спелая вишня, стружка горького шоколада. Немного тёплое на финише, но в целом ладно скроенное, зрелое, не утяжеленое. 16,5/20
