Note di degustazione
The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina, essentially the regular bottling, is a fresh ruby-garnet with focused and ripe red currant and wild cherry fruit, attractive notes of tar and wild fennel, and a balanced, vigorous, and well sustained palate. What’s missing here? Perhaps the spark, the inspiration which separates a very fine wine from an outstanding one. But perhaps we should stop expecting miracles in every vintage from this producer – he has never claimed, after all, to be able to walk on water.

Dark red-ruby. Superripe yet suave and restrained aromas of liqueur-like currant, nuts, underbrush, marzipan and dried spices, with very subtle oakiness. Juicy, nutty and penetrating, with a deep, pure sweetness but also terrific energy and grip. Mounts and expands impressively on the back half, finishing very long, dense and pure, with a peacock's tail of redcurrant and dried flowers. Showed more sweet oak with extended aeration but has the material and complexity to support it.
