Close to the #2 - same score, same winery, way better price than the #2 Wine of the Year
2016 Fattoria dei Barbi Brunello di Montalcino....$74.99 This red is pure and supple, evoking cherry, blackberry, licorice, earth and spice flavors, delivering almost seamless harmony at this early stage, with refined tannins that are very well-integrated. Shows fine length, courtesy of the vibrant acidity. Best from 2023 through 2043.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
Disclaimer: This is not the Riserva bottling that was named Wine Spectator's #2 Wine of the Year, but it did get the same score and is half the price!
