intense and impeccably well-balanced finish

here the wood is more generous and while it stops short of being intrusive on the white flower and citrus suffused nose

and the barrels are only 10% new

Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_australia tobacco and licoriceThe Sesta di Sopra 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is very generous and ripe with plush dark fruit, spiced brandy, blackberry liqueur and crme de cassis. There is an actively tannic component that is grippy and drying. It practically sucks the air out of your mouth, and I'm not confident that it will ever fully integrate. For that reason, I feel this wine is not fully balanced. Production is 4,500 bottles.
