The 2012 Caprili Brunello di Montalcino is a beautiful and elegant style from winemaker Giacomo Bartolommei. This slowly opens to inviting aromatics of cherries and red plums along with spices, walnut and hints of wild herbs all come together seamlessly. On the palate this is silky and polished, continuing to impress with its remarkable overall balance and finesse. There is a lovey core of sweet red fruits which are lifted by the underlying acidity as it enters the long, pretty finish. This is an outstanding effort which will continue to impress over the next decade and beyond. (Best 2018-2030) - February, 2017 (JD)
