2015 Talenti, Brunello di Montalcino, Pian di Conte Riserva, Tuscany, Bottle (750ml)

VM95 "It will be hard to keep our hands off of the 2015 Talenti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte long enough to watch it fully mature. It opens up with a dark and alluring display of sweet herbs, tobacco and crushed black cherries, as hints of white smoke, sage and cedar add further depths. It’s velvety and pliant, cast over a core of motivating acidity and cooling minerals, creating a push and pull between ripeness and tension. Fine tannins lurk deep beneath it all, yet they never get in the way of the 2015’s long-lasting wild berry fruits and balsamic spice. Give this a few years in the cellar for maximum pleasure."EG for VM Nov 2020

JS94 "A rich, finely layered red with plum and citrus fruit, as well as hints of balsamic. Fine tannins. Medium body. Lovely fruit on the palate and fruit tea at the finish. All about finesse and complexity. Drink or hold. " JS Nov 2020
