2018 Poggio San Polo, Brunello di Montalcino 1x75cl

Vinous 90

Shavings of cedar come together with wild strawberry and dusty rose as the remarkably pretty 2018 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This washes across the palate with ease, supple and soft, with tart wild berry fruit that adds a cheek puckering tension toward the close. Saline-tinged minerals and gently grippy tannins emerge providing a youthfully structured and savory finale, as a residual bump of acidity maintains a pleasant inner freshness.

Mid ruby with orange tinges. Amarena cherry with hints of fruit cake on the nose. Supple cherry fruit on the palate. Lots of concentration and with plenty of tangy acidity, too. Solid. (WS) [04/11/2022]
