Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2019

In the bottle with the burgundy-colored label, the Tenute Silvio Nardi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a layered and generous wine with black fruit, cherry, spice and a hint of Provençal mixed herbs on black olive. There are further hints of underbrush, crushed slate, petrichor from schistic soils, and toasted almond that adds some sweetness from French oak. The tannins are velvety and soft, but this wine is regularly balanced throughout. Drink date: 2025-2040. Score – 94. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 14, 2023)
