Tornesi Brunello di Montalcino 2016

Vinous 93 points

Bright red. Soil-driven aromas of red cherry and menthol, plus hints of blood orange and mint. Juicy and firmly built; the wine's structure and edgy acidity are currently keeping the fruit under wraps. Finishes long with a noteworthy tannic spine, but I would have liked a little more generosity of fruit. This linear, precise wine will need some time in a good cellar to harmonize and show more sweetness of fruit.

Intense ruby red color with limpid garnet highlights. Austere and enveloping with hints of the wood it is aged in, well-integrated with ethereal aromas. Very tannic and structured, soft yet powerful with strong and decisive character.
