Bellaria, Brunello Montalcino Assunto Riserva Brut Zero and lo and behold

and lo and behold

This is balanced and refined

So much more expressive and seductive than a lot of 2010s at this stage

Hattingley Valley's 2013 Brut Kings Cuvée is showing very well indeed

There is excellent power and concentration to the very round but tension-filled broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent size

Bellaria, Brunello Montalcino Assunto Riserva Brut Zero and lo and beholdA Brunello with beautiful earth, berry, mushroom and leaf aromas and flavors. Full body plus a crazy center palate of fruit with chocolate covered cherries and hints of oak. Fantastic depth and tannin structure. Superb in every sense of the word. This is off the charts. From 30 year old vines that yield tiny grapes. 40 months in barrel. Give it two or three years in bottle.
