Chewy and rich at the finish

2020 | Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino | Tuscany 1.5L Verdelho The nose shows bright redRestrained strawberries and cherries, with a touch of lavender and a lot of licorice. Super juicy on the palate with thick, chalky tannins at the moment, yet they are balanced by supple, sweet fruit. Medium to full bodied with a very savory aftertaste. Though pleasant, its not fully ready to drink now, and theres a lot of potential for the long haul. 97 Pts James Suckling
