Leonardo da Vinci Brunello di Montalcino 2012

Sweet, sour, salty and earthy fruit make a total sangiovese play for well rounded pay dirt in the Da Vinci Brunello and yet this is expertly high-toned and succinct in edgy ways. There is some flesh and unctuous palate activity so the cumulative is deemed more than respectable in a Brunello next door kind of way. Finishes with chocolate shavings and dusty espresso. For best results drink this in the early stages. Drink 2018-2022. Score - 89. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, June 13, 2017)
