Barone Ricasoli 'Brolio Riserva' 2017 Review
This wine smells sweet and a little pruny. There’s a slight hint of cherries and earth, but it’s masked by a smack of saccharine vibes. The acidity also over-delivers and brings a slightly sour note. It’s goof for a good grab and go, but not for a wine-focused event. Maybe for a party.
