Description
The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino Luce definitely holds its own. I was a little surprised to see that the Frescobaldi family opted to make this top-end Brunello in such a difficult vintage. Now that I have the sample before me I can clearly see the confidence required to make such a difficult choice. In fact, I'm not even sure I would get that this wine was from 2014 in a blind tasting. It delivers ripe and round fruit flavors of blackberry and plum, along with significant 15.5% alcohol and thick extraction that defies everything we know about 2014. There is a lot of power and grit at the core of this opulent Brunello. Some 25,000 bottles were made. WA 93

Tasting note
2014 年的露鵲酒莊 - 魯奈羅蒙塔奇諾 DOCG 是托斯卡納著名風土的傑出表現。這款酒呈現出寶石紅色和紫色光澤,散發出灌木、李子、新皮革和異國香料的芳香。入口後,緊密的單寧框住了乾黑櫻桃、甘草和濃縮咖啡的風味,最後以堅實乾燥的收尾結束。再經過幾年的陳釀,單寧會逐漸柔和,讓果實的豐富度更加突出。這款酒平衡完美,帶有薄荷的清爽感,是 Frescobaldi 家族精心釀造的見證。
The 2014 Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a masterful expression of Tuscany's renowned terroir. This wine greets you with a ruby red color and purple highlights, offering an aromatic bouquet of underbrush, plum, new leather, and exotic spices. On the palate, it reveals assertive, close-grained tannins framing flavors of dried black cherry, licorice, and espresso, leading to a firm, drying finish. With a few more years of aging, the tannins will unwind, allowing the fruit richness to shine. Perfectly balanced with a crispness supported by minty highlights, this wine is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Frescobaldi family.
