Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino, 2009 Duck Confit Extremely good structure and broadThe 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Annata is a beautiful wine laced with ethereal balsam tones, licorice, cola, dark fruit and forest floor. The acidity is evident but well integrated within the thick textural richness of the wine. It closes slowly and quietly with a surprising flurry of delicate floral notes that pop up at the end. This well built wine will hold for many years. Class!
