Uccelliera, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_italy the ’14 Clos des Epeneaux

the ’14 Clos des Epeneaux should still make for a lovely wine

Delightful rather than compelling but this is so exuberant yet fine that it’s impossible not to like

as it needs at least a few years in bottle to show the natural richness of the vintage that was so evident when the wine was in barrel

this may be the most under rated wine in the de Montille portfolio with its ripe

but it is already beginning to unwind
