Bellaria, Brunello Montalcino Assunto Riserva Brut Zero Hattingley Valley's 2013 Brut Kings

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

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

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

I suspect that the mildly chunky tannins will eventually give way to something more reflective of the natural refinement of a classic RSV

Bellaria, Brunello Montalcino Assunto Riserva Brut Zero Hattingley Valley's 2013 Brut KingsA 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.
