Col d'Orcia 2016 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Product Details

( 95 V) This 2016 is produced entirely from estate grapes farmed organically."Dusty earth gives way to dried roses, incense, hints of cedar, sage, currants and black cherries in a display that makes the 2016 Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino a very special experience. Its nuanced and perfumed from start to finish, boasting silky textures contrasted by tart berries and minerals, but with sweet tannins that frame the expression perfectly. Its inner sweetness is balanced by bright acids, creating an almost-juicy sensation, right up until the moment you realize that your palate is aching with youthful tension. Theres so much going on and much more to come, making me wonder what the Poggio al Vento might offer in the 2016 vintage. For now, that doesnt even matter, because the 2016 Col d'Orcia impresses on nearly every level."

( 95 JD) The 2016 Col dOrcia Brunello offers notes of pine resin, black cherry, and dried strawberry aromatics. The palate is concentrated and compact, with dried tomato leaf bitterness and tobacco. The structure is not shy, with a rich core of fruit, bold tannin upfront and just as much acidity to match. This is a bold wine for the 2016 vintage, packed with sun-kissed warmth. It commands time in the cellar, so drinking is recommended over 2026-2041
