drink-now2015 Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva, La Magia, Tuscany

This is from the farm’s oldest vines. Vinification in large oak botti and 40 months in French tonneau give a glistening, plump exterior to the firm tannic profile. The fruit is immediate and appealing now, with rare drinkability for a Riserva. This has perfumed oak spice, red fruits, wild herbs, cured meat and La Màgia’s signature mineral grip. Drink 2022-2040.
