VINOUS: 93/100 FOR BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019 POMONA VILLA POGGIO SALVI

Dusty violet florals give way to mentholated herbs and crushed blackberries as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Pomona opens in the glass. It possesses a pretty inner sweetness and silken textures that soothe the senses as a wave of tart black cherry slowly saturates. A wall of aggressive tannins forms toward the close, nicely balanced by residual acids, and leaves a steeped plum resonance as the 2019 demands our attention and extended cellaring to show its best.
