Brunello di Montalcino, Romitorio 2019

Notable for its pure cherry and kirsch aromas and flavors, this red is also stylish and graceful. Rose, wild thyme and stony mineral elements come into play as this develops on the palate. Beautifully integrated, fresh and firm, this glides to a long, resonant aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. 3,800 cases made.

Lustrous ruby. A little spicy and still quite tight on the nose. Compact cherry fruit and with plenty of depth on the palate. Proper concentration with lots of supple acidity and a core of gravelly tannins. Needs more time but this shows lots of promise. Beautiful label. Drink 2025-2034. 17++
