1997 Tenuta di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino

The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino is a loaded wine with a brooding, dark appearance and powerful aromas of dark fruit, leather, tobacco and spice. Lively dimension is rendered beautifully by the delicate tones of anisette, menthol and licorice stick that lurk quietly on the fringe of the bouquet. Tenuta di Sesta offers a fascinating portrait of Brunello from this celebrated vintage. Let it decant for about two hours. Drink: 2014-2022.
