The 2019 Brunello de Montalcino wafts up with a pretty blend of dried strawberries and cedary spice offset by liftin menthol and violet pastille aromas. This is juicy in character with herbal-tinged wild berry fruits and nervous acidity, all spiced up by a zesty touch of tangerine. The 2019 finishes fresh with a vivid red licorice tinge. Orange notes fade amongst subtly grippy tannins.

Pouring a rich ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino displays a ripe and rather mature nature. Aromas of strawberry pie, baking spices, and balsamic herbs lift from the glass. Snappy acidity lifts the palate, and the wine is medium to full-bodied, with its ripe fruit holding on underneath. I would prefer to drink this over the next several years to preserve what freshness of fruit it has.
