2020 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

(94 Points) The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino seduces from the first tilt of the glass as a gorgeous blend of hauntingly dark florals, exotic spices and stone dust complicate dried black cherry notes. It has textures of pure silk that are elegant and seamless in feel, with ripe wild berry fruits and mineral tones that swirl beneath an air of violet inner florals. Youthfully structured yet incredibly long, the 2020 finishes with fine-grained tannins, a primary concentration and hints of tart blackberry and clove. Vinous Eric Guido Tasted: 01-NOV-23
