Verbena Brunello di Montalcino “Le Pope” 2016

Violent in the extraction, it shows a vivid colour that immediately captivates. The scents of chamomile and helichrysum blends with more mature notes of black plums, wild violet, wet licorice, warm asphalt and orange blossom. Full body, incredibly velvety tannins on the palate entrance, unfolds to show grit and tension and reveals a character that is difficult to tame. The ending is narrow and vertical and shows a tension but of a select few. We will have to wait for it in the cellar but it will be a difficult to replicate this masterpiece and it will be worth waiting for. Better from 2024.
