The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva captivates as it slowly blossoms in the glass, but this is a wine that is truly worth waiting for. With each swirl, a bouquet of mentholated cherry, autumnal spice, shaved cedar and Tuscan dust gains amplitude and richness. The textures are undeniably elegant, communicating opulence while also stimulating the senses with salty minerals and an inner smokiness that I find wildly compelling. An intense array of red currants, licorice and savory spice fills the senses and translates directly to the finale, where regal tannins saturate, promising a remarkably long life. I didn't think it was possible for Le Potazzine to outdo their 2015 annata, yet they truly have. Only 3,000 bottles of this beauty were produced.

Enticing, earthy aromas of new leather, truffle and violet mingle with ripe woodland berries. Boldly structured but also showing a weightless elegance, the savory palate delivers ripe cranberry, cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and tobacco framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023-2030.
