Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Cassis, cranberries. Black fruit too. Tar. Long. Anise. Finish goes on forever.

Apr 4th, 2023Delicious Brunello, but needed some time to open up and probably a little too young to drink. Pure beam of cherry and black plum and definitely floral. Elegant and refined. The tannins we almost silky after a few hours. Not sure I agree with the 97 points from Wine Spectator, but still a pretty stellar Brunello from the fantastic 2016 vintage. Will hold onto my other bottles for a few years before trying again.
