Biondi-Santi, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 1955
Tuscany
In original carton
Tasting note: The colour is out of this world, an intense red with distinct garnet reflections, very transparent and luminous. The bouquet is uniquely intense, as varied as an artist’s palette, with sweet tobacco, dried rose petals, dark chocolate and nutmeg. And the luminous, pungent and balsamic mineral sensations are outstanding. The mouth feel is the quintessence of goodness and stimulation. It is lively, pulsating, spicy, fresh and even excessive with an endless finish that is never tame.
