Valdicava, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_italy It just feels a bit

It just feels a bit foursquare toward the finish

and very difficult for me to taste without passion

tannic finish that has immense precision

I was particularly effusive about the 1985 although

This is impressive because it possesses imposing size and weight yet the palate impression remains exquisitely well-balanced

Valdicava, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_italy It just feels a bitThe 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is advancing fast in terms of its aged aromas. The bouquet offers a large quota of cured beat, juniper and bresaola. Only once you get past those dehydrated, meaty tones do you notice the strongly floral aromas at the back. Pressed rose and perfumed potpourri are on full display. Theres a nice touch of acidity, as well as pure menthol, that helps to break up the thickness of the wine. Open the bottle one or two hours
