2013 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino

Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2013 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino (97VN, 96JS, 95KO, 93RP, 92DC, 92WS). Vinous: "Luminous red. High-pitched aromas of sour red cherry, raspberry, rose, stainless steel, white pepper and minerals. Dense and silky in texture but displays great juiciness, clarity and floral lift; the lively but harmonious acidity really lifts and frames the bright red and mineral flavors. Totally saturates the palate and yet comes off as virtually weightless. This hauntingly beautiful wine showcases everything Brunello can be when made from an ultra-competent producer farming Sangiovese vines that grow in what is a real grand cru section of the much too large Brunello di Montalcino denomination.
