    San Polo Vignavecchia (Red) 2019 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Dark, inky, floral, cherries. Intense pot pourri, like opening a bottle of perfume - but not in a VA way. Slightly lifted alcohol on the palate. Lots of silky acidity, beautifully elegant with a clean, concentrated, very well-cut edges structure. More cherries, slightly cedary tannins. Nice intensity. Tannins grow as the wine opens up. Ripe, elegant, ethereal, floral, cherries. Great Brunello typicity, maintains traiditon with the tannins and floral notes, somehow has a very modern acidity and tannic structure. Very lovely.
