Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

9.4

Medium light Ruby with wide garnet ruby rim. This is quite reserved , cool and mineral on the nose , some pine notes with herbal , red cherry , cranberry hints , black tea . On the palate this has more red fruits , raspberry , red cherry, sweet wild strawberry , along with black tea , thyme and rosemary . Wet slate tinged finish . High acidity and fine but gritty tannins . Long and really detailed . Very young but will age effortlessly for another 20 years , perhaps more . Very promising .

Rich red fruits (cherry) reflective of the excellent vintage. Rich savouriness on the medium + bodied palate. Liquorice notes. Based on how good the 2019 Rosso was from Uccelliera was, this was always going to be a winner. — a month ago

Hi Bob, do you think it still needs additional cellartime or is it already approachable?

Bob McDonald

@Anthony De Blasi Probably both Anthony - it is certainly enjoyable now but no problem cellaring for a few more years. Such a good vintage for Brunello.

Took some time to open, deep ruby colour and red berry aromas nice feel on palate which improved over time as it mellowed and revealed a well balanced package — 6 days ago

Just double decanted a few minutes ago. Mature color with lots of rusty edges. Nice nose, lots of stuff, terracotta tiles, iodine, mahogany furniture, still some nice plummy fruit. Lots of life on the palate. Fruit, earth, leather flavors. Vigorous but fine grained tannins, nice acidity. On the leaner side but nice length. Really fine effort in a tough year. — 13 days ago
