Rated vintages

  • 201190 pts

    Leather, aromatic herb, mature dark-skinned fruit and a balsamic note take center stage. The full-bodied palate shows ripe wild cherry, black raspberry, mint and anise framed in enveloping refined tannins. Drink 2018–2023.

    Black cherry fruit is followed by notes of espresso, leather, crushed granite, cola and licorice. The wine shows bright acidity in the mouth but it also has enough fruity pulp and density to soften that sharpness. Pair this wine with spicy baby-back ribs.

    Darkly concentrated, boldly aromatic and intense, this pretty Brunello delivers modern aromas of chocolate, espresso bean, ripe fruit, blackberry and rum cake. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich, and the wine maintains its momentum thanks to the softness of its texture.
