The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Phenomena opens to a slightly evolved personality with dried fruit and old spice. The wine tastes dry and polished, thanks to the fine texture you get on the close. It ages in botte grande for a long 51 months before release. I like the power and the depth shown here, but it's hard to imagine how this wine will age 10 years down the line since the fruit is already so mature now. 
91 points, Monica Larner, Wine advocate

Maturing mid ruby with bricky rim. Savoury and sweet and concentrated on the nose. Succulent, racy fruit with gorgeous, almost Nebbiolo-like tannins. Powerful yet elegant. Drink 2020-2030.
17.5 Points, Walter Speller

ProducerSesti

Sesti are one of the most delightfully individual producers in Armit’s portfolio. Giuseppe Maria Sesti and his daughter Elisa hold just 13 hectares of vines in a unique micro-climate in southern Montalcino, Sesti produces elegant Sangiovese with a distinct floral note. Self-described as “eclectic by nature”, Giuseppe ran a Baroque Opera festival for thirty years while restoring the the medieval the Castello di Argiano, which features on their labels, and developing the vineyards.  Having written no fewer than five books on astronomy, Giuseppe considers the influence of the moon indispensable to viticulture and Sesti makes wine according to biodynamic practices.
