Ripe cherries, dried herbs and some sweet roasted spices here. Nice savoriness, too. Medium body with fine-grained tannins and a long, supple finish. The fine tannins provide an enveloping, caressing feel. Drink or hold.

Pouring a bright red hue, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe and spice-driven on the nose, with licorice, juniper, black cherries, and smoked tea. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, with ripe fruit, ripe tannins, and mouthwatering acidity that gives it lift and length through the finish. It should drink well with no trouble for another 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly enticing, with a savory herbal thrust giving way to nuances of crushed ashen stone and dried black cherries. It sweeps across the palate, silken yet energetic, with crisp wild berry fruits complicated by an inner air of rosy florals. Edgy tannins saturate, adding tension and grip as the 2021 leaves a staining of primary concentration and a pleasantly chewy sensation.
