Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Poggio Di Sotto 2008

I am quite enamored of the 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva that boasts beautiful floral notes that are both rare and precious. At the back of those feminine, somewhat ethereal tones are grounded aromas of spice, crushed terracotta and balsam herb. This wine impresses for the direct and pristine perspective it offers on the grape, that is already showing tiny steps toward tertiary complexity. The wine is at a very interesting point in its drinking window right now, and will continue its careful evolutionary course with a few more years of bottle rest. Drink: 2017-2028.
