Brunello di Montalcino 2014 90 BB YB W&S Apr20

BEST BUY; YEAR’S BEST BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO; Brisk acidity brings clarity to this wine’s black-cherry flavors and picks up notes of cranberry and orange blossom. That brightness is offset by notes of tobacco and damp leaves; raspy tannins pull the flavors together. – S.J.
