“The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a rich blend of crushed blackberries and plums, complicated by mentholated herbs and stone dust. Silken and weighty yet still energetic, it offers depths of ripe red and black fruits enhanced by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and citrus. It resonates with tension, leaving sweet tannins and a balsamic twang that pinches at the cheeks and keeps the palate salivating for more. Well done.”
