2013 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino

Deep dark red colour with a brick red hue. Aromas of spicy dark cherries and redcurrant intermingle with earthy cedar and dried herb notes. Displaying medium bodied richness the elegant palate features flavours of red currant and ripe red cherries over a back drop of light earth, old cedar, dried herbs and spice. Finishes dry with bright acidity, faintly chalky but otherwise fine grained tannins and an aftertaste of spicy red currants, red cherries, earth, old cedar and subtle dried herbs.
Cellar 5-6 years.

Fantastic aromas of orange peel and dark berry with plenty of plum and cherry. Sweet tobacco and mushrooms. Full body, juicy and fruity with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Complex and gorgeous. Fine and very long. Drink now.

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino shows laser focus and a precise delivery of aromas that makes an immediate and satisfying first impression. This is a delicately assembled wine that shows the deft hand of the winemaking team behind the scenes. Bright fruit and cherry is connected, in a careful embroidery, to spice, leather, tar and cured tobacco. There are subtle tones of ash and crushed mineral as well. Drink 2020-2030.

Monica Larner – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

An elegant style, offering ripe cherry, plum, leather, almond and subtle chocolate flavors. Harmonious and long, with an aftertaste evoking cherry, iron and tobacco. Fine balance. Best from 2021 through 2033.
