La Magia Brunello di Montalcino 2020

The colour is ruby red tending towards garnet, with typical red berry fruit opening out on the nose and in the mouth, mineral overtones, delicate spices, supported by generous acidity, restrained tannin and a long finish.

Direct and engaging is the sensory profile of a solid, centred Brunello. Red plums blend well with nuances of orange juice and pink grapefruit. Slightly opaque the background is reminiscent of black plums, blackberries, incense, wet geraniums, coriander and cumin. Full-bodied, savoury on the palate it shows structure and matter, biting tannins of considerable tension and a really sharp finish that will need time to unwind.

96 Points - James Suckling

Fine-textured, with integrated tannins that frame the wine nicely. It’s medium-bodied with juicy, dark fruit, as well as notes of bark, spice and walnut husk. Flavorful and intense, focused and polished. Drink in two or three years, but already impressive.
