| TASTING NOTE: The organic La Torre 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is elegant and tight with floral notes, iris root and a sweet note of cherry confit or crème de cassis. It has a cushiony feel, or bounce, and the wine envelopes the whole palate without pulling too strong in any one direction. Some sweetness carries to the palate. This pretty wine would benefit from a few more years of bottle age. Drink date: 2026-2040. Score - 95+ (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 14, 2023) |
