This wine is exceptionally powerful, muscular, and concentrated, with a certain sternness, but impressive potential. It is not ready for consumption. The 1994 Brunello di Montalcino reveals sweet, spicy oak, leather, cherry fruit, and cigar smoke notes. Medium to full-bodied and dense, with impressive concentration, outstanding purity and length, as well as a tannic, austere finish, this wine requires 2-4 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15+.
