Roberto Cipresso Brunello di Montalcino 2018

What a pretty and perfumed nose of lavender, neroli, vanilla, strawberries, cherries and pine needles. Full-bodied, with a ripe and creamy core of fruit accompanied by firm, powdery tannins. A good amount of sweet spice that doesn't overpower the fruit. Polished. Try in 2025 [or cellar into early 2030s]. Score - 95. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 11, 2022) 750 mL bottle
