Vinous (91)Deep, dark and full of balsamic complexities, the late-release 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Nastagio from Col d'Orcia slowly blossoms in the glass. Plum, currants and tobacco brighten and evolve into notes of cherry laced with fresh cut roses. It’s silky at first, verging on fleshy, yet quick to reveal a coating of youthfully grippy tannin and tart red berry fruits. This finishes long, dry and intensely structured, with hints of wild herbs and spice. The Nastagio is matured in a combination of barrique and tonneaux for the first year, followed by another two years in large botti. It’s a wine that is meant to be more immediate than the rest of the portfolio; yet the 2015 is anything but immediate. |

Hints of vanilla, tobacco and sweet herbs linger through the long, structured finale. The 2016 finds a wonderful balance of fruit, structure and acidity, and it should be glorious in another five to ten years’ time. |
