There is elegance as well as depth. Medium- to full-bodied with great density and concentration, sleek tannins of outstanding ripeness, graceful acidity and a super-polished finish. Licorice aftertaste. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 Vinous - The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with an exotic blend of crushed sour cherries and dried violets complemented by cedar spice box and nuances of incense. It is seamless and silken in feel, displaying notable weight while also coming across as graceful and refined, with a remarkably pretty blend of wild strawberries and a crunch of minerality. A raspberry sauce concentration and sour citrus twang remain as edgy tannins linger, offset by a bump of riveting acidity. This is a fantastic vintage for Il Marroneto's Brunello, here taking on a level of complexity and concentration I usually associate with the Madonna delle Grazie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Advocate - immediately captivating, showing lift and verticality that sets it clearly apart, with bright cherry fruit, grenadine and grilled watermelon underscored by an energetic, punchy edge. There is an appealing sweetness to the aromatics alongside hints of white peppercorn and pressed violet, with lifted tones that flirt with volatility yet remain controlled, carried by remarkably soft and polymerized tannins. The 2021 is distinctly austere and complex, etched with mineral precision and built with multiple layers stacked one atop another, gaining depth rather than breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ELEVAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50951327973682,"sku":"50000000008162","price":159.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/IlMarron_90bea77b-35f4-4338-af28-d9049949251b.png?v=1709827530","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2021-il-marroneto-brunello-di-montalcino-docg","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
