Caparzo Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Restrained, vibrant and fruity riserva with red cherries and raspberries, potpourri and even incense. Medium- to full-bodied with leafy flavor, velvety and ripe tannins yet chewy acidity and a chalky finish. Good blood-orange aftertaste. Better in two or three years but already so delicious. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 11, 2024)
