Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2006
94 points RP, 94 points ST
Medium ruby color. Expressive aromas of cherry, fresh berries some blackcurrant and leather and some floral hints. Full bodied with layers of silky tannins against a strong backbone of acidity and balanced fruit. The finish seems to keep going on for ever! It has a long life ahead and will develop more complexity over time. Drink 2016 - 2031.
