Antinori - La Braccesca : Bramasole Syrah 2019

A solidly built red permeated with blackberry, black cherry, ink and black pepper flavors. This tightens up, a good sign for future development, yet remains balanced and long. Offers terrific concentration and freshness. Drink now through 2028. 175 cases imported.

Crushed ashen stone, peppery black fruits, camphor and lifting mineral tones waft up from the 2019 Syrah Bramasole. This is soft and deeply textural, guided by brisk acids and salty minerals which mix with its masses of ripe dark fruits to create a harmonious expression. Aggressive tannins saturate toward the close. There’s so much potential here and with incredible length. A “wow” wine for sure; one that will provide a long and steady evolution in the cellar.
