Note di degustazione
Sesti's 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Phenomena is lean, compact and dried out, which is a shame, as the remnants of what was appears to have once been quality fruit appear from time to time.

Mature-looking mid ruby with orange rim. Little nutty with hints of undergrowth, but there is complexity. Really deserves decanting. Notes of dried fruit and cherry on the palate. there is some development here. Sweet fruit backed up by brilliant acidity and grip. (WS)
The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Phenomena is a dark and powerful wine with masculine tones of maraschino cherry, scorched earth and a warm, alcoholic finish. It also offers a noticeable dose of sweetness that comes in the tannins and on the chewy finish. Drink: 2016-2020. Based on constellations and astrology, Sesti (located at the Castello di Argiano) produces some of the best wine label designs in Tuscany. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, www.kermitlynch.com
Mid ruby with broad orange rim. Herbs and dark chocolate. A good dose of acidity giving energy to the ripe fruit. Tannic, proper muscular finish. (WS)
