2015 Tenuta Buon Tempo 'Oliveto P.56' Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
From a single organic vineyard of 25-year-old vines, this 2015 Riserva showcases the best of Tenuta Buon Tempo’s craftsmanship and Montalcino’s iconic terroir. Deeply aromatic, it reveals layers of black cherry, plum, crushed stone, and subtle tobacco, balanced by hints of fresh-tilled earth and a touch of smoke.
On the palate, rich fruit is framed by a rustic edge, with powerful, creamy tannins providing structure and a long, flavorful finish. Decadent yet balanced, this full-bodied Brunello will reward patience, needing a few more years to fully bloom.

Aromas of ripe, decadent fruit with black-cherry, plum and crushed-stone undertones. Some subtle smoke, too. Full-bodied and juicy with powerful, creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Lots of structure here. Needs three or four years to open. Try after 2024.
