La Fornace Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (Red) 2019 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim
Pot pourri, rich, lightly jammy floral fruit. Hints of oak and white chocolate. Violets. On the palate, beautifully lacy again with a really outstanding elegance and prettiness. Lots of red fruit, zippy black cherries, weighty and concentrated. The tannins are a little chewy, concentrated at the tip of the tongue and somewhat unyielding. Lovely concentration with the beginnings of greatness. Very serious, but also very closed. Nice wine.
