Tasting notes
The bright red/orange 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is forward with oak spice, as well as notes of cedar, toast, bourbon, cherries, and resin. The palate is refreshing and offers more purity, with a clean feel but it may just need more time to integrate its oak. A bit flashier in style, its tannins need aging to become more resolved, but there's real potential here. Drink 2025-2040.

Mid ruby. Balsamic nose that is not immediately fruit-driven and with a hint of gingerbread. Succulent cherry fruit layered with grainy tannins. Fullness of fruit yet elegant and long. (WS)
Crushed black raspberries are lifted by sage, sweet lavender and hints of split pine as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. Soft and juicy in style, this possesses a core of ripe primary fruit and tactile mineral tones motivated by tantalizing acidity. Hits of blood orange come together with violet inner florals and earth tones as this finishes long, structured and staining yet displays a lovely balance.
