"The 2016 Riserva is muscular and full of energy, as it offers inviting aromas of black plums, blackberries, black tea leaves, wild myrtle, juniper berries and cloves. The burnt citrus fruits in the background recall winter afternoons by the fireplace as the nuances of cinnamon, vanilla, cedar pieces and tangerine peel linger. It possesses a full body with fine-grained, velvety tannins that lead into a savory finish. Exceptional wine from an extraordinary vintage in Montalcino."
