Brunello di Montalcino

Fortunately, this one is a step up from the Rosso, especially on the nose---dried fruits, confiture, and a touch of floral elegance. But on the palate, the same issues persist: a lack of balance, ethanol that sticks out, harsh tannins, weak acidity, and not enough fruit depth to hold it all together. An improvement, but still frustratingly unpolished.
