D'Arenberg The Hunjee Heartstrings Montepulciano 2021

From d'Arenberg's extensive range of superb-quality reds, here's a very appealing Montepulciano with 92pts. “This is good. A variety with a fine future in these parts, serving up a palette of bright natural acidity and gnarled tannins. Floral, full weighted and pulpy, yet far from simple as a salve of smoked meat, dried tobacco, olive, iodine, clove and thyme is fired by a parapet of ferruginous tannin and integrated acidity. The finish, long and effusive with no excessive heat or dryness. A beacon of light. Great Value.” Ned Goodwin MW
