The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Bonacchi offers a veil of earthiness and spiciness that emerges with good intensity on first nose. The primary fruit comes off as dark and dry. This Brunello opens to a dark garnet color with dark amber highlights at the rim. There is a note of sweetness on the close, but the wine also tastes slightly more advanced than it should upon its release. This is a better near-term drinking choice.
