Ruffino Tenuta Greppone Mazzi Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Ruby red with garnet hues. Intense aromas of ripe plums, cassis, and maraschino cherry with notes of incense, cocoa, sweet tobacco, and spicy black pepper. The palate is full-bodied with an elegant and complex structure. The tannins are persistent and pronounced yet rich and smooth. Very well balanced with red fruit, chocolate, and sweet tobacco on the long finish. 14.5% ABV.

Aromas of cherry, leather, liquorice, spice and tobacco are in harmony with the solid structure. Shows notes of sanguine and iron, ending with excellent length. Best from 2021 through 2034. 95 Points Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points James Suckling, 92 Points Wine Spectator and 90 Points Robert Parker.
