Tasting Notes and Scores
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte (with 6,600 bottles made) offers a heavier and more oak-driven style with ripe cherry fruit, soft tannins, spice, smoke, tar and road paving. It fits its Riserva designation squarely, but in truth, I prefer the more lifted and lighter approach taken by Talenti's two 2016 Brunello releases. Those wines both show greater clarity of fruit to my palate. However, this quality is nothing to sneeze at. This is a proud, shapely and well-crafted Brunello with sweet plum, cherry and blackberry on the close. Those sweet fruit nuances are followed by spicy cedar and campfire ash.
