2015 San Polino "Helichrysum" Brunello di Montalcino

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2015 San Polino "Helichrysum" Brunello di Montalcino (97IWR, 97JS, 95DC, 94VN, 93WE, 92RP). James Suckling: "Ripe boysenberries, tar, chestnuts, orange peel, dried cherries and tobacco. There’s a beautiful interplay between the more subtle, citrus notes and darker red fruit, and nothing’s out of kilt to the ripeness. Lots of powerful tannins take the full-bodied palate by storm, coating the mouth in layers of intense but fragrant red fruit and steamrolling this Brunello to a long, chewy conclusion. This is a contrastive wine, built on the foundation of an intricate, wild tannin backbone, but framed in a vibrant and transparent package." (10/2019)
