Merchant's description
Biondi-Santi is widely considered the pinnacle of Brunello with wines known for an unbelievable capacity to age. The 2012 Riserva has a brooding, complex nose and is tightly coiled and compact on the palate. It displays fine balance overall but is perhaps a touch too young to be enjoying just yet.
