Brunello di Montalcino, Ciacci Piccolomini

Note:

Good red ruby. Subtly complex nose melds cassis, truffle and expensive oak; shows an almost liqueur like sweetness. Then supple, dense and bright, with a pliant texture and excellent depth of flavour. This is ripe and fleshy but also classically dry, structured and elegant, with lovely inner mouth perfume. Very penetrating, long wine, finishing with suave tannins that are firm but fine.
