2019 Brunello di Montalcino Le Potazzine, Gorelli, Tuscany

2019 is a remarkable vintage that displays a similar elegance to that of the 2016. The wine is awash with red berry fruits, cranberries and blood orange notes combined with wild flowers and crushed raspberries. The palate shows great energy and focus with refreshing acidity, fine grained tannins as well as lots of concentration and length.

Tasting notes

Stunning from the first tilt of the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. This blends an array of dried flowers with autumnal spices, cedar-tinged cherries and clove hints in a way that I find wildly appealing. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk guided by bright acidity as depths of wild berry fruits and mineral tones saturate toward the close. The 2019 lingers impossibly long, leaving a staining of primary concentration to mingle with grippy tannins and licorice nuances, yet an airy freshness remains through it all. The combination of house style and vintage character here is otherworldly. It will take much willpower to keep our hands off of the 2019 long enough to watch it properly mature. Spellbinding.
