The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino form Fattoria dei Barbi opens with lovely aromas of blackberries and dark cherries woven together with leather, floral, spices and wet stones. Full-bodied with a round, velvety texture and wonderful overall balance and finesse. The finish is long and pretty with dark fruits, minerals and a traces spices lingering on. Stefano Cinelli Colombini has crafted a wine which will be accessible early on, however should also age well over the course of the next decade. (Best 2018-2028) - February, 2017 (JD)
