Tasting note
The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is a terrific wine for the year. Sweet red cherry, plum, tobacco, mint, sweet spices and orange peel are all front and center. This is a gorgeous 2011 Brunello that represents everything the vintage can be; open-knit, accessible and polished. I don't expect the 2011 will be a long-term ager, but it is exceptionally beautiful and delicious today. Drinking window: 2016-2031. Score - 94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Feb. 2016)
This dry ruby coloured wine features intense spicy, floral and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as firm tannins.
Ruby red turning garnet with age, notes of wild berry, spice, tobacco, leather. Balanced and dry with warm lingering finish.
