Molino Sant Antimo, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2019 more concentrated and medium-bodiedThe 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is hauntingly dark, blending sweet herbs and violet tones with crushed blackberries and hints of exotic spice.

This finishes a bit short yet clean and lifted with just a hint of black cherry.
