Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino 2012

"Sweet cherry, licorice, leather and wild herb aromas and flavours converge on the dense structure of this red, which takes on a tannic edge as it plays out. There's plenty of fruit, and all the components seem to be in the right proportions." - Wine Spectator, 92 points

"Immensely inviting, this [Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino] opens with fragrant pipe tobacco, crushed berry, new leather and pressed violet aromas. On the palate, firm, refined tannins underpin juicy black cherry, raspberry and cinnamon flavors, while orange zest accents and an energizing mineral note lift the finish. It's beautifully balanced with bright acidity and will reward a bit of cellaring. Drink 2020–2032." - Wine Enthusiast, 98 points
