Let’s talk about ‘tertiary’...by that I mean aromas and flavors that develop during the bottle-aging process. 🙌🙌
With the name Brunello di Montalcino DOCG you can be certain this wine was made with 100% Sangiovese grapes, came from Tuscany, in Central Italy, 🇮🇹 and was aged for a minimum of 5 years prior to release, at least two of which were in oak vessels.
🧐🧐
The age on this wine shows in its aromas and flavors, which retain some evidence of fruit, but have started to trend towards the tertiary side of things. 🍷☺️
👁 The color is medium ruby with garnet rim variation.
👃 Indeed the nose has a medium(+) intensity of developing aromas. Aromas include baked cherry, strawberry, blackberry, also black licorice, anise, fennel, balsamic, nutmeg, clove, cedar, tobacco, earth, meat, and game.
👄 On the palate this wine is dry. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, high alcohol, medium(+) tannins, and medium(+) intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium(+).
Shout out to @sommnow @h_obf for helping us find this gem 💎 👏👏👏👏👏
