La Rasina Persante Brunello di Montalcino 2018

This has a beautiful nose of potpourri, lavender, sandalwood, blueberries, peach stones, mulberries, praline and chocolate orange. It’s full-bodied and so refined, with firm, ultra-fine tannins that provide a seamless frame to the wild fruit and flowers. Sophisticated. Even better after 2024. [Enjoy through mid-2030s+.] Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 11, 2022)
