Tasting notes
Mid ruby. A nose that is little reductive and hinting at soft fruit only. Hints of candyfloss. Round, ripe and open-knit fruit palate that is not the freshest. Drink sooner rather than later. (WS)

Aromas of tar, spice and dried berries follow through to a medium body with stewed fruit and chewy tannins. Medium body. Juicy finish. Drink now.
The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne works very nicely all said and done. It presents the light and undertone character of the vintage against the ripe and more opulent style that is associated with this vineyard site at the lower parts of southern Montalcino. These two elements result in a balanced and forthright performance. The wine opens to a dark garnet color and ripe aromas of dark cherry and blackberry followed by potting soil, rose bud and grilled herb. Some 150,000 bottles were made.
