There’s a radiance to the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino that makes it a total
pleasure to taste today, as sweet exotic spices come together with dried
black cherries, dusty flowers and hints of clove. This is pure pleasure on
the palate, displaying both an opulence of fruit, yet also total poise and
refinement, as sour berries find an energizing lift from juicy acidity. The
2018 doesn’t miss a beat, tapering off with rounded tannins while lingering
on the palate for well up to a minute with an energizing burst of citrus,
nuances of sweet rose and licorice. This is already so pretty today, yet it
also possesses the balanced structure to mature beautifully, which isn’t
found in many Brunello of this vintage. What a darling.
