Argiano, Brunello di Montalcino (Tuscany, Italy) 2018

 Richness of flavor or soundness of structure?  Great wines have both, but many winemakers struggle to attain even one.  This Brunello cannot be faulted for lacking the latter – assertive while maintaining an elegance and lightless – but it struggles to get that richness we expect in a Brunello.  Yes, the Sangiovese signature tastes are there, but they give only a passing appearance.  All that said, for structuralists, this will be a very satisfying wine, well worth the price.
