The complex 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva boasts a dark garnet color as well as an explosive nose of red and black fruits, incense, tobacco, leather, and earth. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, with multiple dimensions, admirable opulence and depth, and a smoky, chewy, long finish, this exceptional Brunello can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years.
