TENTE SILVIO NARDI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017 brand_Herdade do Esporão ultra-pureThis is a beautiful, fresh 2017 Brunello with fine tannins and a medium body of cherry, bark, cedar and pine needle flavors. It's long and polished with ultra fine tannins and fresh acidity. Nicely done for the vintage. Drink or hold. This has aromas of French oak, scorched earth and underbrush. The concentrated, one dimensional palate exhibits licorice and stewed prune, but it totally lacks fruit richness while the heat of raw alcohol dominates.
