The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful wine and a protagonist of this vintage. I love the purity of the fruit and the direct manner in which it is delivered. This wine exhibits intensity and a careful sense of balance in which dark cherry fruit and blackberry are folded into spice, tar and licorice. The effect is seamless and elegant. This wine has the inner flexibility to drink in the near or the long term. The range is impressive.

Cherry, milk chocolate, vanilla, leather and earth flavors hold court in this firmly wrought red. Somewhat one-dimensional, with moderate length. Best from 2020 through 2030. 5,000 cases made, 1,100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
