Caparzo Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2012

Fragrant blue flower, wild berry and baking spice aromas meld with a whiff of dried aromatic herb. Smooth and savory, the elegant palate shows raspberry preserve, juicy black cherry, licorice and espresso framed by fine-grained tannins. A hint of chopped mint backs up the lingering finish. Drink 2020-2030. (Kerin O’Keefe,Other,May 1, 2018)
