Lazzeretti, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_australia a blend of 70% Pinot

a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay that's based on the 2013 vintage

The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins

but I suspect that once it is in bottle it will tighten up considerably

and I have to admit I wondered whether the wines that followed – even if considered virtual Trockenbeerenauslesen – could represent an ascent

Lazzeretti, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_australia a blend of 70% PinotGood deep red. Aromatic nose offers cherry, rose petal, marzipan, licorice and a whiff of forest floor. Sweet and silky, but the flavors of red raspberry, cherry and licorice are firmed by an edge of acidity. Finishes fragrant, with slightly drying tannins and a light tartness. Stephen Tanzer
