Intense aromas of black cherries, black truffle, orange peel and Indian spices. The palate is full yet reserved, with very fine tannins that fly linear and deep in the wine. Caressing texture. Reserved at the end. A real beauty. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2027.

The organic San Polino 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows ripe, almost syrupy fruit and pressed blackberry over a medium-rich texture. The wine is simple and accessible with moderate depth and distant sweetness. The finish is slightly viscous or heavy. Black cherry, scorched earth and black olive rise from the bouquet of this darkly-colored wine. Tobacco and toasted spice also appear. This is a release of 13,300 bottles.

The biodynamic and certified-organic San Polino 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows some hot-vintage ripeness with baked cherry and plum. The fruit is heavy, rich and interwoven with thick tones of sweet spice, tar and campfire ash. This vintage shows rich concentration, powerful 14.5% alcohol and stemmy tannins. Production is 9,000 bottles.

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino (made with organic fruit) opens to dark fruit, cherry and dried plum. Those fruit tones are ripe with extra sweetness, but they are neatly framed by tar, smoke and exotic spice that recalls mesquite or cedar wood. The dark ripe intensity of the fruit it tightly interwoven within those oak-driven flavors and the wine's full-bodied fiber. This 10,000-bottle release has come along nicely over the years, showing a steady upward climb in quality and distinction.

An 8,000-bottle release, the San Polino 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a medley of aromas that are a little offbeat at times, with crushed aspirin and cherry cough drop. You get some ripe fruit but not in the traditional sense, because there are no jammy notes. Instead, you get a lot of candied aromas. The candied cherry is lifted and bright, ceding to light tones of toasted almond and tilled earth. Give the wine a little extra time in the glass, and it comes together with good focus and sharpness.
