Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo, magnum

Tasting Notes

Pretty Brunello with licorice, smoky woodland and ripe black cherries. Medium-bodied, soft and velvety at the start, then thick with an austere finish. Refreshing acidity. Good definition and savoriness here, yet it's mostly fruity. Needs time to develop greater complexity. Drinkable now, but best from 2026 [through mid-2035+].[Brunello encapsulates character, sophistication, artistry and heritage.] (jamessuckling.com,23 sept. 2024)
