Cortonesi La Mannella Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2012

This young red offers fresh cherry, currant, strawberry, leather and tobacco flavors, aligned with a dense layer of tannins. Lingers with a vein of mineral and a bright floral note. All the components are there for a fine future. Better than previously reviewed. Best from 2019 through 2033. (Bruce Sanderson,winespectator.com,Feb. 28, 2017)
