2015 Livio Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino

JS98 There’s something ethereal in the nose with flowers, cherries, strawberries and shiitake mushrooms. Full body. This grows on the palate with super tannin and fruit structure. So much berry flavor and round, caressing tannins that fill your mouth. Tight at the end. This needs four to five years to show its true greatness. Try after 2023.
