Donatella Cinelli Colombini 2017/2018, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Magnum99. 95 per magnum ABV 13. 5% Critics 94 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Tasting Notes The Brunello clone of Sangiovese, which grows in the hills of Montalcino, near Siena, produces Tuscanys most intense and famed red wine. It expresses a powerful, assertive character, complex with mineral, leather, truffle and orange peel nuances. This fantastic wine is robust with good concentration and complexity. Rich and velevty in the mouth with ripe tannins

St Emilion and Pomerol sit next to each other on the right bank of Bordeaux

where the coated tannins are tempered by a beautiful acidity
