Tasting notes
La Rasina's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is dark and thick, almost surprisingly so given the lighter wines generally produced in this vintage. This Brunello offers power and substance with a good sense of volume and lasting fruit flavors. Those flavors include black fruit, prune and dried blackberry. The mouthfeel closes in with tight fruit flavors with spice, tobacco and balsam herb. The mouthfeel is dry, polished and long (but not too rich).

Deep ruby with bright orange tinges. Proper, concentrated cherry fruit with real depth and a touch of Moroccan leather, which might become a problem with ageing. Plenty of fruit and grainy tannins. A little rustic, direct and long and ready now. (WS) (JR)
