2016 Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva, Máté, Tuscany, Italy

Perfumed, composed and pure, this is a heady medley of intense fruit, bay, lavender and savoury spices. The palate pulses with energy and tangy charm, with notes of dried roses and creamy espresso. The finish is long, mouth-coating and mineral. This is unmistakably Santa Restituta. It’s a triumph, testament to the legendary vintage – but it needs time.
