Rosso di Montalcino

Not for me, this. Better than last time, sure, but it's just too much - power for power's sake. The fruit's decent enough, but the oak steamrolls everything and those tannins... oof. Proper brutal. Drinks like they forgot this was supposed to be the approachable little brother to Brunello. It's trying so hard to be serious that it forgets to be enjoyable. Maybe it'll settle down, but right now it's all muscle and no charm. Pass.
