VINOUS: 91/100 PER IL BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2015 VILLA POGGIO SALVI

The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a mix of savory and sweet, with intense crushed cherry, cedar spice box, and dusty minerals, giving way to undergrowth and hints of sage. On the palate, silky textures are contrasted by intense, tart red berry, cranberry, and spice, with saturating tannins balanced by brisk acids. The finish is long, youthfully austere and tart, as hints of cranberry, saturating spice and saline-minerals slowly fade, leaving a twang of zesty acids.
