2015 Tenuta le Potazzine Brunello di Montalcino
Community Tasting Note
Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
Friday, February 21, 2020 - 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, new releases (Montalcino centro): Benvenuto Brunello 2020, Montalcino
Really earthy nose - in the best of ways. Lots of intrigue and complexity on the nose, and the highly traditional palate is a thing of true beauty. That said, this is going to require a lot of patience before entering its preferred window, 2025-2044. Excellent, really elegant, with lots of resonating persistence. BUY. highly recommended

Also went to Tenuta le Potazzine in order to buy directly from them (BD had no bottles of them). We tried le Potazzine and wow... best Brunello tried during our 3 days trip. Sutil, complex, tons of layers... Bought a magnum to cellar it for 10 years. Do you plan to taste the 2016 vintage soon? Looking forward your coments, we tried few samples and found the 2016 more elegant. Keep me posted if you do!

The 2016s are released to the world's press during Benvenuto Brunello in mid-February each year. As it stands now, my three months trip begins 28 January, and I'll taste them at that time ... Covid-19 rules depending
