Dark, earthy and potent, the 2017 Rosso di Montalcino holds nothing back, as a bouquet of crushed black cherries, balsam herbs and licorice burst up from the glass. This is deeply textural yet also slightly nervous in feel, with gobs of tart red and black berries propelled by vibrant acidity. The 2017 leaves a staining of primary concentration, as well as adolescent tannins to linger, forming a structured yet still lively finale. Wow, this has matured beautifully and still has a way to go. Nicely done, especially for the vintage conditions. Be aware that the size of the 2017 can become tiring after a couple of glasses.
