Castello Tricerchi Brunello di Montalcino 2018

$99.99

The nose is all about balance, with sour cherries bouncing off sweet cherries and a sleek vanilla streak dusted with tea leaves, above salt, pepper and espresso undertones. The vivacious fruitiness continues on the palate before a cocoa powder finish sprinkled with more salt and pepper.
