There is no doubt that 2019 was a great vintage for Montalcino, though as the wine curmudgeon I am, I feel that the fruit-driven character makes the wines look a bit samey. Generally, although I truly like the balance of most the wines, they miss the inherent complexity of the superior 2016...
Brunello di Montalcino 2019 Riserva reviewed
A dramatic vintage. For notes on the 2020 Brunello di Montalcinos, also to be released this January, and background to that vintage, see Walter’s Brunello di Montalcino 2020 – vintage report and 2020 Brunello di Montalcino – the tasting notes. Above, Montalcino's Abbey of Sant'Antimo at dusk.
