This consignor, located in BC, has long been amazed by the wine knowledge of Sommeliers and wine professionals, their palate and abilities to identify wines from just one sip, and began to collect in 2007. His bottles were mainly purchased directly from the Vineyard, through Boutique Wine Imports, or specialty wine shops locally in Vancouver. Prior to landing at Iron Gate,he stored the wine in a temperature-controlled cellar and at 13C in Vancouver.
The score for 2016 Castello di Argiano Sesti Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is 94 points from Vinous and the tasting note - The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Sesti pulls you close to the glass, with a display of woodland herbs and strawberries backed by hints of cedar and stone dust. It’s a silky and pliant, complemented by bright red fruits and cooling acidity, as inner violet and lavender tones add further depth. Energy remains high through the juicy finale, even as round tannins slowly dry out the expression. This is very nicely balanced and so giving already that it will be hard to keep our hands off long enough to watch it fully mature. Drink 2023-2032.
