Casale del Bosco 2019 Brunello di Montalcino 750ml

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco is intense, with an array of dried violets and currants complicated by exotic spices. This blends creamy textures with ripe red and hints of blue fruit that slowly saturate as brisk acidity adds balance and saline minerals create a tactile feel toward the close. The Casale del Bosco tapers off long and staining, with a salty flourish and a savory herbal thrust as gripping tannins tug at the palate.
