Il Marroneto 1998
Red
Brunello di Montalcino, Italy

WineSaint
Earthy and evolved, with dried herbs, leather and dark tea notes leading to austere black fruit. The structure feels brittle. Firm tannins lack the fruit concentration to support them, while persistent acidity creates an angular finish. This vintage shows Il Marroneto at an awkward stage, neither youthful nor gracefully mature. Drink now before further decline.
