This Brunello Riserva shows a very rich and dark side thanks to its firm structure and integrated acidity. Blackberry and dark fruit tones are backed by dense concentration and extraction. Bets are on that this wine will age beautifully over time.

Refined and elegant, you could easily characterize this as a feminine expression of Brunello. It is redolent of forest fruit, white chocolate, dried violets, resin, tar and a touch of smoked bacon. In the mouth, it shows a sharp, fine quality that is enhanced by natural freshness.

Here is an austere and sophisticated Brunello that delivers aged aromas of old spice and pipe tobacco that make the wine seem older than it is. Those aromas are backed by licorice, black truffle, black currant and cassis. The mouthfeel it thick, chewy and long-lasting.

True yet reserved, with a full nose that deals a total package rather than parts. Dried cherry, raspberry and leathery tannins are softened by a hint of vanillin. The finish is spicy and lengthy. Tannic, but will come together more if given five years.

The hot vintage shows strongly, perhaps because this estate is located in the western part of Montalcino where elevations are lower and temperatures are a few degrees higher. The wine has a warm, brownish hue and delivers notes of mature black cherry, prunes and exotic spice. There’s no freshness here and it won’t last much longer.

Wonderful, almost flowery, perfume on the nose. There are also hints of men’s cologne and lemon peel. Chewy and meaty across the palate, where black cherry and plum dominate. The finish shows ample oak, chocolate and butter. Will be round and easy upon maturity, which should come in a couple of years. Imported by Lauber Imports.

Despite starting out a bit mute, what lurks below is nothing short of stellar. Fine black licorice and ripe, meaty fruit creates a dark, manly flavor profile, while the finish deals a layer cake’s worth of fudge, vanilla and espresso. Virtually anything you would want in a Brunello is here. Imported by Lauber Imports.
