Intense ruby red with garnet notes, clear. Enveloping and intense, ethereal aroma with hints of fruity, well blended with the sweet woods with which it is refined. Soft and elegant, in the powerful body a sweet but important tannicity.
Woodland berry, forest floor, dark spice and new leather aromas lead the nose. The bright linear palate offers wild cherry, strawberry and star anise set against youthfully austere but refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink after 2022
The 2013 vintage for Brunello is one of the greats receiving 97pts by Parker’s WA, the 2nd highest the Wine Advocate has ever given a vintage in some 45 years. I have tasted most of the great 2013 Brunello’s and the vintage is a definite buy. I find the wines to be pretty complete with everything in the right place. Fruit is superb but does not dominate. The wines are rich but balanced. Everything works from bouquet to palate to finish.
