Poggio Sotto, Brunello Montalcino other_regions The 2007 Vin de Constance

The 2007 Vin de Constance has a comparatively higher level of residual sugar at 177g/L and the highest total acidity at 8

I've certainly seen young Taylor's with more intensity

but it also has the pedigree and beautiful inner structure for long cellar aging

this is not to say that it is an elegant wine though it is less youthfully austere than I typically find with this wine
