Corte Pavone Anemone al Sole Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2016

A rich and deep Brunello, but still incredibly lively, with a melange of red and black cherries and some nice, tarry plushness, violet extract, roasted sesame from the oak and sweet spices. Juicy and full-bodied, but it remains deep and mineral, with velvety tannins that are so caressing. Long and delicious finish. A super-vivid, complete and authentic Brunello, showing sensual flesh and well-structured bones. Already great, but it is a beauty in the making. Drink or hold [until 2040+]. Score - 96.
