Brunello di Montalcino Bassolino di Sopra
As good as it gets, the 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino Bassolino Di Sopra is a breathtaking wine and a masterpiece balancing purity and precision. Pouring a jeweled ruby hue, this beauty is expressive and continuously unfolds in the glass and through the palate, revealing a vibrant core of fresh pine, smoky cedar, ripe black cherry, Mediterranean herbs, white pepper, wild raspberry, polished leather, and pressed lavender. It is medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, coiled mineral energy, and a harmonious structure so seamless it is hard to place where one component ends and another begins, and lasts long after it is gone. This is a wine that sparks all the senses and gave me goosebumps. It is transparent yet elusive, as it is evolving from one moment to the next. It is impeccable now but will continue to improve over the coming decades. Drink 2024-2050. 100/100
