Celebrated, elegant and ageworthy, the 1985 vintage was extreme in Tuscany, with a particularly hard winter and very hot summer. The main character of this vintage is to show an extremely youthful fruit character, and this Brunello does not disappoint. The bottle was topped up twice; in 2000 and in 2010. There is great concentration here and the wine changes a lot in the glass. The frame of the aromas is built on dried prunes, Mediterranean herbs and tobacco, with truffle, cinnamon, potpourri, cedar wood and earthy tones. The stunning savouriness of the nose is confirmed on the palate, with zesty acidity in a perfect Franco Biondi Santi style, powdery, super-extracted tannins, big shoulders and fierce tension on the finish. An extremely youthful wine with further potential for ageing.
