Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne Siro Pacenti 2012

Der Brunello di Montalcino von Siro Pacenti, dem seit dem Jahrgang 2012 die Bezeichnung "Vecchie Vigne" hinzugefügt wurde, ist eine der grossen Referenzen dieser Appellation in der Toscana. Der Wein ist sehr strukturiert und lang, mit seidigen Tanninen, und sehr elegant. Er entsteht auf zwei Parzellen, deren Rebstöcke ein Durchschnittsalter von 35 Jahren haben. Die von Natur aus niedrigen Erträge begünstigen die Konzentration dieses Weins. Der Ausbau in Barriques dauert 24 Monate.

Giancarlo Pacenti knows his land well and is a skillful farmer, especially with regards to navigating a challenging vintage like this. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne boasts a beautifully saturated ruby color that appears healthy and bright. The aromas are presented with precision and balance. A wine like this offers irrefutable evidence that old vines are the best remedy in a hot and dry vintage. The wine's various elements are intact and focused. Dark cherry, candied plum, exotic spice, tar and licorice form a united front. I prefer this vintage to 2011. Drink: 2017-2027.

Vinous 93+

Vinous

Dark red with an amber tinge. Ripe red cherry, sweet spices, grilled beef and blood orange, plus hints of cedar and new oak. Enters sweet and broad, then tighter and structured, but with refined tannins providing support to the sweetly spicy red fruit flavors. The finish is long and very pure. There’s a depth to this wine that the classico bottling does not have, a dpeth of flavor that derives from the old vines; spent 24 montsh in 70-80% new oak.

Suckling 95

Suckling

Aromas of ripe fruit such as sweet strawberries and hints of orange peel and chocolate. Medium to full body, soft and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Riper style. Drink or hold.
