2019 Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino | Pre-Arrival Offer

95 Points - Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast

“The earthy, savory nose features aromas of hot tar, crushed rocks, freshly brewed coffee and dried cherries. On the palate, cranberries fortify that cherry element, while a mocha sweetness contrasts with a warm, earthy, peppery spiciness that's lifted by fiery acidity.”

“Lively and crunchy red cherries, orange peel and cherry blossom with lifted floral notes of violets and roses. Medium-bodied with fine-grained, juicy tannins. Good length with a citrusy aftertaste. Energetic yet sophisticated. Keep until 2026.”

“A youthful ripe ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe and forward with aromas of crushed blackberries, baking spices, cedar, and leather. Full-bodied, with grippy structure, it saturates the palate with ripe fruit and tannins that build on the finish. Retaining good freshness even though it's more grounded in its personality this is a ripe style with a good bit of complexity, and it's going to show at its best over the next 7-8 years. Located in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, the southeast corner of the region, Tenuta Buon Tempo has been farming organically since the 1990s and has been certified since 2018. (Drink between 2024-2032)”

“The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is wild, mixing tangerine zest with rose petals, wet stones, fresh-picked strawberries, stems and more. It possesses depths of dark red fruit and minerals, all buffered by a dense textural wave of pure silk. Sweet spices and cocoa hints create a push and pull of contrast through the finish as dusty tannins add a subtle tension. The 2019 is a pleasure bomb, yet balance is expertly maintained. This will only require a short stay in the cellar to show its best. (Drink between 2025-2032)”
