1994 Brunello di Montalcino La Cerbaiola

From a vintage considered inferior to 1995, Salvioni’s 1994 Brunello di Montalcino has held up beautifully. It, too, is fully mature, but it also has striking depth, especially for a wine of its age. Smoke, tobacco, black cherries, game and licorice add nuance to the dark, intense fruit. The 1994 is wild and a bit rough around the edges, but it has stood the test of time very nicely.
