La Magia 2012 Ciliegio (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Ciliegio
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: La Magia / Brunello di Montalcino

From 40-year-old vines, this Brunello opens with French oak, coconut, spiced plum and balsamic eucalyptus notes. Those aromas carry over to the palate, which is assertive and chewy with licorice and espresso flavor. A backbone of close-grained tannins provides support.
