Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Vibrant dancing velvety tannins. Red elegant berries unbelievable mouthfeels . Well balanced and perfect acidity. This one has another 50 to 75 years on it. Yum!!

Pine tree, fresh cut herbs, balsam, licorice, dark red and black fruits. Medium plus body, high acid, balsamic finish. Two hour decant to shine, needs food. Underwhelmed for the price.

Really quite a fantastic Brunello from an obviously great producer. In a great place at ~9 years but no rush. Lots of refined red fruit on the nose. Manages to get the balance and tension between fruit, earth, and acid nearly perfect. Finish is slightly less expansive and long than I was hoping, and the tannins are a bit unintegrated. But those are nits - delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. Also appreciate the 13.5%.
