Corte Pavone Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Fabulous aromas of black cherry, bark, pine cone, raspberry and burnt orange peel follow through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s fruity yet savory and so vivid and endless. Structured yet full of polish and beauty. Best ever? Drink after 2027 [and into the late 2030s]. Score – 96. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 4, 2024)
