"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Bramante Riserva pulls you close with a dark and dusty display, hints of crushed chalk giving way to black cherries, dried roses and leather. This is elegant and velvety in feel, delivering a savory mix of red currants and spice, as fine tannins slowly mount toward the close. It tapers off lightly structured and long with a salty flourish and inner earth tones and florals. The 2016 is youthfully folded in upon itself today, but with cellaring, it should emerge as a gorgeous rendition of Bramante Riserva."
