2014 MARCHESI DE FRESCOBALDI CASTELGIOCONDO BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 375ML

Brunello CastelGiocondo 2014 appeals first to the eye with its bright rich ruby-red hue. On the nose fruity notes dominate ranging from raspberry to blackcurrant with vague hints of blueberry. Elegant floral notes then emerge offering striking and surprising scents of violet. Spicy tertiary notes are then released due to the lengthy ageing process. Cinnamon pepper and leather combine in an experience of extreme elegance finishing on a balsamic note. The wine envelops the mouth completely and impresses with its balance its dense tannic texture and its minerality as well as its long persistent finish.
