La Rasina 2009 Brunello di Montalcino

Country: Italy / Tuscany
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: La Rasina /

This wine opens with animal and farmyard aromas that aren’t unpleasant and which burn off in the glass to reveal mature black fruit and leather. The sweet palate offers fleshy, almost overripe blackberry, black cherry, cinnamon-spice and balsamic herbs. It finishes on an astringent note of wood tannins.
