Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS 2015

- 92 points -

The 2015 Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS takes no prisoners with its bouquet of licorice-infused blackberry, cherry, mocha and balsamic spice. It brightens up with time in the glass, adding contrasting dried florals and notes of crushed stone. Silky-smooth and perfectly polished, without a hard edge in sight, this boasts an amazing density of dark fruits complemented by hints of savory herbs and tobacco. You can hardly feel its aggressive tannins settling in until the very end, as the palate aches under an air of violet florals and salty mineral tones. This is a large-scaled and strapping wine that flaunts its oak influence and will require a number of years in the cellar to properly integrate it.
