Note di degustazione
Healthy mid ruby. Rich cherry nose with hints of gingerbread but much more complex than this sounds. Concentrated marasca cherry with energetic acidity and persistent powdery tannins. Has lots of everything. Energetic, electric and fruit-driven finish with an elegant palate weight. Tactile fireworks. (WS)

The 2016 Brunello has rich notes of mulled spice, clove, and fresh red plum on the nose. The palate is tangy and savory, with sour cherry compote, medicinal herbs, quinine, and orange zest on the finish. Fine tannins build with a slightly astringent acidity, though the wine was more approachable after a day of being open. The 2016 was aged for three years in French oak of various sizes. Hold for a couple years and enjoy 2024-2035.
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino displays rosy florals and bright strawberry complemented by sweet autumnal spice. There are depths of silky textures giving way to polished red/black fruits, with an attractive inner sweetness contrasted by saline-minerals and peppery herbs. Its tannins are round, creating a subtly structured feel through the licorice-tinged finale. With just a few years of cellaring, the 2016 Máté should be drinking beautifully.
