Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.

Intense aromas of red fruits lead to a soft and elegant palate with notes of leather, earth and oak. Aromas of mushrooms, black cherries, sour cherries and flowers. Medium to full body with chewy tannins that give form to the wine. Juicy fruit in the center-palate. Chewy at the end. Give this three or four years to soften. Try after 2026. An umami nose has earth and herbs and damp soil, then more savory aromas of balsamic vinegar and pepper. Berries and cherries bloom on the palate alongside floral notes with earth and pepper still present, but ferocious tannins doing the work of enforcing balance. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a mentholated freshness, blending wild herbs with spiced blood orange and crushed raspberries. It's softly textured with cooling acidity and crisp wild berry fruits. A bitter tinge of savory spice emerges toward the close. Sweet tannins linger, adding a pleasant punctuation as the 2019 finishes with medium length and youthfully chewy.
