Fossacolle Brunello di Montalcino 2012

Boasting a dark and rich color, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is a youthful and bright expression that still has a ways to go in terms of its evolution. The wine shows loads of primary fruit at the moment with dark fruit, cherry and black currant at the front line. The Brunello offers smoothness and softness on the palate but you also get a bright and tangy touch of that Sangiovese acidity that reminds you of the appellation's most valuable assets. Drink date: 2017-2026. Score - 93. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 28, 2017 )
