This is very definitely and ‘buy and forget it somewhere deep in the cellar’ wine

Put this bottle aside in your cellar for the decades to come

Conti Costanti, Brunello Montalcino Riserva Size:6x750ml which shows excellent clarity andGood bright, deep red. Deep, pure, brooding nose hints at licorice and minerals. Powerful and penetrating but extremely backward, with strong acidity framing and intensifying the flavors of dark fruits and licorice. Finishes very long and vibrant, with a medicinal note of menthol. This compellingly deep but extremely backward wine is built for a long life in bottle but is not fun to drink today. Shows the acidity and grip of 2006. Stephen Tanzer
