Sweet rose petal

This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb

achieving veritable racy elegance that sets it apart

This is evolving glacially and certainly much slower than I originally foresaw but it should be a stunner of a Clos de Vougeot when it finally reaches its peak

both of which add breadth to the citrus and floral infused white orchard fruit aromas

Poggio Sotto, Brunello Montalcino Vintage:2018 Sweet rose petalCastelnuovo dell'Abate. Very pale crimson with some blue. Unusual spicy nose. Edgy acidity on the end. Bitter cherries. Rather confidently going its own way. Much fresher and lighter than most.
