Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte Talenti 2019

Tasting Notes

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte is intense, with a burst of split pine, cedar shavings, dried flowers and mentholated herbs forming its smoky bouquet. This envelops the palate with silky textures and ripe wild berry fruits, taking on a flinty-mineral concentration that adds lovely depth toward the close. Sweet tannins frame the experience as the 2019 finishes with a spicy twang as hints of violet pastille and tart cranberry contrast through the finish. The 2019 demands further cellaring to come together, but it's a gorgeous interpretation of Pian di Conte. Drinking window: 2028-2040. (Eric Guido,vinous.com,26 nov. 2024)
