2016 SAN LORENZO BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino dazzles the senses with a display of citrus-tinged wild berries laced with sweet spices and minty herbs. It’s silky and elegant in the mouth, contrasted by a darker and more tart set of fruits, with mineral underpinnings adding further tension. Saturating fine tannins slow its momentum through the finale, clenching the palate with youthful poise, as hints of dried cherry and blackberry linger. The 2016 San Lorenzo will need some time to come into focus, yet it has all of the necessary components to mature into a classic." Eric Guido Vinous Media 93 points Drink 2024-36
