Saturday, May 4, 2024 - Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): Altesino's 2018 Brunello is a deep red/garnet wine with an aromatic profile of red currants, Montmorency cherries, blood oranges, violets, tobacco and savory herbs. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, judiciously oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.5%), it delivers flavors congruent with the aromas, adding a component of iron on the dense mid-palate. Even at this early stage, the medium-weight tannins are soft-textured, lending a smooth character to the lengthy finish. This is an elegant wine that should age gracefully. Drink now-2033.
