Description

2012 "Brunello di Montalcino Annata" DOCG, Tenuta Biondi Santi 

Falstaff:
Funkelndes Rubingranat. Sehr offene und zugängliche Nase, zeigt Noten nach Granatapfel, Rosenblättern und feiner Kirsche. Saftig und klar in Ansatz und Verlauf, zeigt feine Noten nach Granatapfel und Weichselkirsche, öffnet sich mit kernigem, feinmaschigem Tannin, sehr langer Nachhall. 

Wine Enthusiast:
Underbrush, ripe berry, new leather and Mediterranean herb aromas slowly take shape in the glass. Showing youthful tension, the vibrant palate delivers red cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and pipe tobacco notes framed by bright acidity and taut, refined tannins. It already shows great balance and finesse but is still young and tight.  

James Suckling:
Love the dried lemon rind, florals and red fruits. Medium to full body and a solid core of fruit and spices. Long and flavorful finish. Just a hint of sweet tobacco.

Jancis Robinson:
Mid ruby with orange tinges. Brooding, complex nose and very tight and compact palate. Succulent but very closed and with masses of fine tannins. It is a beautifully balanced whole, but right now a little austere and locked, yet more open than the 2011. The most elegant wine of this vintage.
