Fantastic aromas of orange peel and dark berry with plenty of plum and cherry. Sweet tobacco and mushrooms. Full body, juicy and fruity with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Complex and gorgeous. Fine and very long. Drink now.
Chopped herbs, new leather, underbrush and a whiff of star anise lead the nose. The firmly structured, chewy palate delivers ripe blackberry, juicy Marasca cherry, licorice and a dollop of vanilla set against a backbone of firm, polished tannins. Drink 2021–2028.
The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is dark, floral and rich, with a blend of sweet tobacco, rosemary, dried citrus and pine shavings. It's soft and plush on the palate, with fleshy red fruits and citrus tones elevated by juicy acidity. Still quite youthful, this tapers off with tension, leaving a sweet and sour tinge of cherry and autumnal spice, along with suave tannins that pleasantly punctuate the close. In 2013, Argiano had already begun to move away from the oak-influenced style of the past. The 2013 matured in a combination of 30% barrique and large oak barrels. What's more, Argiano did not make a Riserva in 2013, so all of that juice was used to bolster this bottling. (EG)
