Balanced, if a bit angular now, with the component parts needing time to integrate. Finishes with a firm grip and lingering tobacco and mineral accents. Best from 2022 through 2038.

Very deep aromas of red plum, red berries, sweet spices and crushed stone are complicated by mint and cinnamon on the captivating nose. Juicy and extremely intense, with a crystallized quality to its sharply delineated fruit and spice flavors, this huge, structured wine is bursting at the seams with ripe fruit and flesh. A luscious mouthful of Brunello that finishes long with polished tannins and noteworthy energy, not to mention subtle building perfume.- Ian D'Agata\"\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (April 2018), 95 pts\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(70, 63, 63); font-family: Bitter, \" times new roman serif font-size: font-style: italic background-color: rgba\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collemattoni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948969717807,"sku":"I0EE455008SGL","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/collemattoni_brunello_riserva_label_94868513-2d73-4a07-abb4-e9bb7273ed28.jpg?v=1771486339","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/collemattoni-brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
