Suckling über:
Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum
-- Suckling: Ripe boysenberries, tar, chestnuts, orange peel, dried cherries and tobacco. There’s a beautiful interplay between the more subtle, citrus notes and darker red fruit, and nothing’s out of kilt to the ripeness. Lots of powerful tannins take the full-bodied palate by storm, coating the mouth in layers of intense but fragrant red fruit and steamrolling this Brunello to a long, chewy conclusion. This is a contrastive wine ,built on the foundation of an intricate, wild tannin backbone, but framed in a vibrant and transparent package. 97/100
