Brunello di Montalcino

Medium

Cork

Riserva

Fragrant red berry notes on the nose with soft herbal flecks. Deep and layered but lifted and streamlined, I love the freshly-picked strawberry flavour that hits the mid palate alongside leather, white pepper, coffee and slightly graphite-laced tannins that settle around the mouth giving the grip and frame. Supple and nicely succulent with lovely freshness throughout, it's just missing that extra push of generosity and weight from the mid palate onwards. Nicely worked, delicate yet there is clear power there. Lacking some spark with fruit that fades a bit quickly.
