Youthful mid ruby. Closed nose with only a hint of candyfloss. Ripe and concentrated fruit wrapped around attractive, gripping tannins. Long and genuine. (WS)

The nose offers cooler blue-fruit aromas with fresh, violet-like aromas. On the palate thereâs freshness and vitality that makes for attractive drinking now.
Le Chiuse's 2014 Brunello di Montalcino (with 7,500 bottles produced) offers a nice progression of aromas and flavors that spread easily over the palate. The primary fruit is very much intact with fresh tones of summer cherry, plum and cassis. Complexity is added thanks to subtle layers of smoke, spice and aniseed. Le Chiuse has been producing very impressive wines in recent vintages. My admiration goes to the team for a wine of this immediate character and quality, produced in one of the most challenging vintages of recent years.
