2019 Argiano Brunello
“2019 provides a blending of power and elegance in a way seldom seen while maintaining a lovely balance of acidity and structure.”
It is with great pleasure that I bring to you today what surely will be the first of many exciting offers for 2019 Brunello di Montalcino. Its been a vintage that has been highly anticipated for several years now, as the wines offered early promise and continued to develop as they aged slowly in the cellars. Comparisons have been drawn to all of the great vintages and at their relative price points offer what has to be some of the best bang for your buck in the world of world class wine. The wines will start shipping sometime in Jan from Europe with the bulk of things arriving in the Spring. This is a vintage you are not going to want to miss!
2019 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino
($120) Crushed ashen stones, cloves, dried black cherries, rosemary and balsam herbs create a spice box display as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is surprisingly fresh and energetic, nearly juicy in character, yet refined and focused, with silken textures ushering in crisp wild berry fruits and orange tones that slowly saturate the palate. It finishes spicy and long, yet its energy never wavers, with grippy tannins that tug at the cheeks as licorice and cranberry notes fade.
