La Serena Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 Red Wine

La Serena Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 

Tuscany, Italy

97 pts. James Suckling:

"Aromas of bark, dark cherries and flowers, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with purity of fruit that runs the length of the wine. It goes on for minutes. Very fine tannins. From organically grown grapes. Needs three or four years to completely come together, but gorgeous. Drink after 2026."

95 pts. Wine Spectator:

"There's a fruity side to this red as well as a spicy side, with cherry, strawberry and black pepper flavors throughout. Floral, iron and underbrush accents add depth, yet it's the beam of pure cherry that prevails. Shows prodigious length on the finish. Best from 2027 through 2043."
