Dry tannins on the end

As has been the case for a number of years now

An expressive nose of high-toned red currant aromas display hints of spice and a nuance of crushed leaf

This is very Corton in basic character and this is not one to buy without the express intention of cellaring it for the long-term

Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino other_regions Dry tannins on the endThe Sesta di Sopra 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is very generous and ripe with plush dark fruit, spiced brandy, blackberry liqueur and crme de cassis. There is an actively tannic component that is grippy and drying. It practically sucks the air out of your mouth, and I'm not confident that it will ever fully integrate. For that reason, I feel this wine is not fully balanced. Production is 4,500 bottles.
