My twin Biondi-Santi Annata

1979 Biondi-Santi, Brunello di Montalcino, Annata;

Bright ruby with garnet rim, absolutelly astonishingly beautifull colour. Perfumed black tea, sweet cherries, slight hint of volatility, some lacquer and hardwood, even blackcurants. High and fresh acidity, truly mouthwatering, transparent and elegant, very pure, layered, such elegance, quite seductive, some ripe tannins, more floral with air, could be a bit longer, but punches way over it's weight class. Impressive. After 15 minutes, cigars, getting more and more complex, leather, chocolate, leafy notes, the whole wine opens up, good length. 90
