Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino 2009

The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino is a dark and savory wine that reveals pretty tones of fruit and licorice that find integration on the nose and mouth. As is customary at this estate, the Brunello rests in wood for two years. The density and persistency however do not match what this estate has been capable of in past years. A few more years of bottle age should aid in its overall evolution. Drink: 2016-2022. Score - 90. (Monica Larner, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2014)
