I encountered some crumbly or dried-out corks on my two samples of this wine. The Talenti 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (with the black label) is fine and elegant with perfumed notes of dried fruit, blue flower, earth and balsam herb. The balance of the wine is very nice, and you'll appreciate the delicate tannic structure and the lean to medium-bodied texture. Some 25,000 bottles were released. Fruit is selected from across eight hectares of vines on rocky, galestro soils.

Ripe, displaying plum, cherry, almond, iron and a hint of wild herbs. Delivers more up front, with light tannins gracing the finish. Needs time to come together. Best from 2025 through 2042. 2,200 cases made, 350 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
