Renieri Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Complex style here, despite its youth. It shows bright rose-petal aromas, together with dried cherries, a smoky-peaty touch and a hint of blood orange. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, chalky tannins and crisp, almost zesty acidity. A little stern in the aftertaste at the moment. Good substance here for the long haul. Try after 2025. {Will evolve into the early 2030s.] Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, Sept. 30, 2024)
