I found this new release to be quite distinctive and exquisitely beautiful, setting it apart from many of the past vintages we are most familiar with. This 2015 edition is dark, exuberant and bold, but precise, focused and sharp as well. It will live for years in your cellar, but tasted now in its infancy, the wine shows blackberry, dried cherry, plum and dark cassis. Those dark fruit tones segue to a rich presentation of tar, spice, earth, tobacco and sweet balsam herb. The bouquet offers seamless and smooth transitions. This warm and sunny growing season favored richness and phenolic weight. Wines from Biondi-Santi are made for the long haul, and the fresh acidity that characterizes this estate is the principle reason why. However, I'd argue that this wine from 2015 will evolve over the years not only thanks to the freshness but more so thanks to the important structure of this solid and profound wine.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Advocate 97+ Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe 2015 Brunello is highly complex, with pine resin, clove, blood orange, and rose-hip. It offers a grounding richness and warmth from the vintage while maintaining transparency and lift. Structured and with a long finish, this bottle showed no sign of demise over several days. Cellar 1-5 years and enjoy over the next 20 years.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biondi Santi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949099610159,"sku":"175342","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/biondibtl.jpg?v=1771488966","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/biondi-santi-tenuta-greppo-annata-brunello-di-montalcino-2015","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
