La Fiorita Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (Red)

2018

Quite jammy red fruit. A tiny hnt of flintiness. Lots of crushed red beriees, raspberries. Far more fruit forward than I would have expected from a Riserva, with none of the drying tannins or bolshy alcohol. Tannins are there, with a subtle smoky-sweet woody nuttiness. Hazelnuts, almonds. Real charm and character. Supports the fruit rather than detracts. Touch of spice, balsam. Great complexity. Ends on some beeswax. Really an exciting wine!
