The 2009 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino is a very pretty showing. It brings intense aromas of blackberries, plums, juniper, exotic spices, orange zest and dried floral, which all come together and leap from the glass. This is nicely balanced and well structured with wonderful clarity and soft, silky tannins that carry over beautifully onto the finish. A fantastic Brunello from Altesino, but allow it another year or two of bottle age, or some extended air contact at the very least for it to be at its best. (Best 2016-2024) - March, 2014 (JD)
