The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is one of those wines that is just born young

Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay Ancestrale other_regions The oak is a little(from a mix of vines that range from 60 to 80+ years of age; 90% whole cluster). A distinctly floral nose is cool and pure with notes of violet, plum and plenty of spice. There is fine intensity to the rich, focused and stony middleweight flavors that brim with dry extract thanks to the old vines, all wrapped in a precise, balanced and beautifully lingering if moderately austere finish. This should age effortlessly and is well worth considering.
