Tasting notes, medals and awards

Tasting notes: Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum 2020: James Suckling: 97 This is very aromatic with raspberry, orange-peel and violet character. It’s medium-bodied and very fresh with refined tannins that run long and true. Crunchy and pretty for the vintage. Tiny production from a single vineyard. From biodynamically grown grapes. Jancis Robinson:17 Luscious mid ruby. Exotic spice with slumbering raspberry fruit on the nose. Racey raspberry and cranberry fruit filled out with powdery tannins that still need to settle. Very long and perfumed but far from ready.(Walter Speller) Vinous: 93 The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum opens with a spice box bouquet that blends potpourri with incense, cedar shaving and dried black cherries. It's juicy with round textures and ripe red and blue fruits that slowly saturate the palate in primary concentration. Edgy tannins resonate, adding a youthful grip as the 2020 tapers of with sapid length and a tart blackberry tinge. (Eric Guido)
