Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2019 This is lighter in style

This is lighter in style but the purity of expression is really lovely

Drink this supple

It just needs more complexity and terroir expression on the finish

This is a superb Right Bank with class and pedigree

don't hesitate to crack one of these open

Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Vintage:2019 This is lighter in styleGood bright, deep red. Deep, pure, brooding nose hints at licorice and minerals. Powerful and penetrating but extremely backward, with strong acidity framing and intensifying the flavors of dark fruits and licorice. Finishes very long and vibrant, with a medicinal note of menthol. This compellingly deep but extremely backward wine is built for a long life in bottle but is not fun to drink today. Shows the acidity and grip of 2006. Stephen Tanzer
