Col d’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino 2019

‘Great expectations, here we go again,’ said in the most positive of respects voice and while the Cinzano family may not think in hyperbole, for this vintage they most surely appreciate an opportunity to create what matters from the gifts of nature. Many producers will go low and some high but Col d’Orcia stays the estate heritage course to make sure both early generosity and more importantly aging structure is the long term plan. You feel the up front wholesomeness and then the length because the framework is everything and projections essential to understanding and appreciating this modal world. Fine wine so worthy of praises because we know it will impress in 2039. How could we doubt such a prognosis? Drink 2025-2039. Tasted November 2023. Score – 95. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
