    Dark-skinned berry, culinary spice and a balsamic aroma come together on this polished red. The juicy palate gives ripe black cherry, star anise, clove and a hint of espresso alongside firm but refined tannins that lend structure and a smooth texture.

    Here's a modern, plush and extracted wine that delivers bold spice, leather, bitter chocolate, cola and cassis. There's a nervous acidic vein throughout the wine and the tannins are still young and need time to age. Give this Brunello a few more years in the cellar.
