1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is exceptional. The color is a deep plum/garnet, and the wine exhibits a full-bodied sweetness with notes of balsam wood, black cherries, smoke, tobacco, leather, and dried herbs. Chewy and rich, with good acidity, sweet tannin, and exceptional concentration as well as length, it can be enjoyed now or over the next 10-15 years.
