The 2011 Brunello Brunello di Montalcino is a valiant effort from Paolo Bianchini in this vintage. As this Brunello slowly opens it releases aromas of ripe cherries and plums which come together with dried spices and leather along with an underlying hint of earthy mushrooms. This is a beautifully made, classic style Brunello which is well structured with a gorgeous silky texture leading into the long, sleek finish. If approaching early allow some significant air, but allowing this to continue to develop with a few more years of additional bottle age would be ideal. (Best 2019-2026) - March, 2016 (JD)
