June 15, 2019 - Appearance : medium to dark ruby with petillance
On nose : med+ intensity, red fruit : plum skin and cherry, lichorice, ansine , salty mineral, After 3 hrs it change to tobacco, green pepper spiciness, subtle is french oak vanilla. Feeling good and pleasant.
On palate : med intensity flavour, high acidity, medimu+ tannin. On front palate Is full of red and black fruit skin and the acidity is the first impression then black tea, lichorice on mid palate. Meanwhile the bitterness and savoury mineral driven and came up to the aftertaste. High alcohol(14.5% abv) but not hot burning, firm with fine tannin, med+ finishing.
It integrates well and the textbook style Tuscan acidity is the signiture of this wine. Drink it hold for 3 more yrs. Good value for money too! Not a very impressive one but still a very good Brunello Di Montalcino.1,624 views
