  Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona Pianrosso (Red) 2018 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

  Smoky red fruit aromas. Red fruit, floral, some black inky minerality but incredible concentration of primary red fruit backed up by some some slightly savoury notes. Powerful. Lovely fresh acidity, firm supple silky tannins leading to an exceptionally elegant body. Beautiful spice and cedar and perfectly ripe fruit, masterful balance. It isn't trying to be over-extracted or over-ripe, but neither has it gone down the path of freshness and austerity.
