Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2018 750 ML

The color of the Riserva is deep ruby with orange hues. The nose immediately offers an ample, ripe bouquet of sottobosco and herbaceous notes joined by a whiff of sun dried tomatoes. After some aereation more subtle notes escape the glass: cherry and violets, a hint of button mushrooms. Even after long airing the bouquet stays persistently generous, nothing less could be expected from a Brunello Riserva. The structure is firm with pleasantly grained tannins. This is expertly balanced by a juicy fruitiness and delightful acidity illustrating that a powerful wine need not renounce elegance. The initial sensory impressions are repeated on the palate and stay for many minutes in a never ending finish.
