Talenti Brunello Di Montalcino 2018

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly alluring with a mix of crushed plums, brown spice, shaved cedar and a dusting of cocoa. Its textures are like pure silk verging on velvet with a suave mix of ripe cherries and currants underscored by saline-minerals, as a burst of citrus adds contrast toward the close. A web of fine tannin lingers through the finale, creating a gentle structural tug, offsetting balsam herbs and hints of mocha, as blue- and purple-toned inner florals slowly fade. There’s simply so much going on here, and as I’ve followed the 2018 over the last few months, it seems to grow in both depth and richness each time I taste it. Well done.” 93 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous Media

 “This has aromas of ripe and dried berry fruit and chocolate, I  like the interplay of savory and sweet fruit, with sleek tannins, fresh acidity and a medium body rendering this a very balanced Brunello.'' 93 Points, James Suckling
