2019 Tassi Brunello di Montalcino

94 Points: “The latest release, the youthful red/ruby 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is expressive on opening, with lush aromas of wild blackberries, sweet tobacco, fresh sage, and lavender cascading from the glass. Medium-bodied, it’s light on its feet while having good concentration and purity of fruit, ripe tannins, and notes of dusty earth and tangerine on the finish. A very attractive wine, it will benefit from another 6 months to a year in a bottle and have an open window over the coming 12 to 15 years.

“The certified organic Tassi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino mirrors some of the qualities we saw in the new Rosso (Greppino 193) with a bright and lifted presentation. There is red cherry, pastry cream, plum and rose tea. The effect is delicate and elegant with fine, chalky tannins. These are the good kind of drying tannins that also remain silky. This wine is enjoyable on all fronts, but it won't be ready for prime-time drinking for another year or so. Drink Date: 2025 – 2038” – Monica Larner Review Date: December 2023
