Brunello Montalcino

The nose is intensely fruity with cherries and blackberries. There is also moist forest floor, dried mushrooms and morels. It is complex and appealing. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety, intensely fruity and acidic in a fine balance. The tannins are fully integrated. The finish is long and complex. It is perfectly mature but can stay at this level for another 5 years. It paired perfectly with sirloin from Norwegian wagyu from Røhr gård.

Lovely red ruby robe

Middels rød farge. Kirsebær, plomme og moreller på duft og smak. Saftig og tiltalende fruktighet i anslaget. Modne tanniner og flott syrlighet. Lang ettersmak

The nose is fruity with raspberries and cherries. There is also forest floor and some milk. It is complex and elegant. 

The palate is velvety and intensely fruity. It is acidic in fine balance. The tannins which are quite tough in this vintage are mature and nicely integrated. The finish is very long and acidic. 

It is lovely to drink now, but can be aged for a long time and is probably optimal in about 10 years. 95 points. On day two, it was completely consistent.
