Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2018

The nose brings both fruit and warmth, as aromas of strawberries, cherries and hibiscus flirt with notes of dark chocolate, orange peel and stones basking in the sun. On the palate, a wave of cranberries brings astringency that freshens a persistent streak of stoniness, before the chocolate returns for the finish. The firm, imposing tannins creep up slowly, maintaining depth without weight. [Drink: 2025-2038.] Score – 94. (Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2024)
