BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO, SESTI, CASTELLO DI ARGIANO 2017
£101.00
A fantastic, complex wine with blackberries, loganberries, herbs and spices on the nose, the palate is even richer with fine tannins and a savoury note of black truffle.

Press Reviews | Undoubtedly, overexcited wine commentators who have given the 2016 vintage of this wine a cricket score will mark this gentlemanly 2017 down because it is civilised, cultured, impeccably tailored and not as shouty, muscular preening as the preceding vintage. Of course, I, too, like the 2016, and it will blossom in 5-8 years, but I must impress on you that this 2017 is jaw-droppingly delicious right now, and I cannot think of another five-year-old wine from this region that has this degree of class, composure and deliciousness. It is a classic case of a starry year overshadowing a quieter, more sensual and more emotionally engaging vintage. Matthew Jukes, MoneyWeek and Wednesday Wines podcast, 13th April 2022 |
