The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is especially dark and rich in the glass, displaying a mix of plum sauce and grilled herbs lifted by hints of mint and cedar shavings. This displays textures of pure silk, coming across and cool-toned and sleek with a core of tart raspberry fruits energized by fresh acidity. The 2020 maintains fantastic balance and poise, finishing classically structured and long yet still quite fresh. This may not have the power of bigger vintages yet impresses more for its graceful and giving nature.
