Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino 2001
Red
Brunello di Montalcino, Italy
6.5
WineSaint
Garnet-hued and showing its age, with red fruit, warm spice and floral complexity. The palate delivers decent intensity but lacks the silky texture you want from mature Brunello. Earthy undertones and menthol add interest, though drying tannins and a tart finish suggest this is drinking at peak now.
