2016 Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino Le Due Porte
2016 Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino Le Due Porte The color is bright ruby with classic garnet hues. Herbaceousness and bright fruit compete on the nose with licorice and some sottobosco whiffs of leather Cuban cigar graphite and dark cocoa. The wine is lean and sinewy dancing on the palate like a ballerina stretching out elegant well-structured tannins. The mouth-feel is juicy with fruit and the texture is balanced yet firm. Everything promised on the nose is there on the palate and the finish is immensely long and pure.
