James Suckling, 95 Points 

"Redcurrants and wild strawberries followed by intense herbal and green notes of tomato leaves and thyme. Creamy and round-textured followed by firm and structured tannins. Excellent length of finish with a hint of citrus blossom in the aftertaste. Pure and crunchy. Better after 2029." 

Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of medium-rich texture and lovely red and purple fruit aromas with elderberry and something much softer like Morello cherry. Those ripe and concentrated flavors give depth and volume to this wine, yet it also shows the heightened acidic freshness that Sangiovese delivers so well, and some chalky minimality. The tannins are yielding and not quite approachable, but they're almost there. This wine sees 30 months in Slavonian oak, and 50,000 bottles will hit the market in January 2024." 

Vinous, 93 Points 

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is floral and perfumed with dusty rose, lavender tones and crushed blackberries.  It’s silky in texture yet lifted in feel with violet-laced wild berry fruits and vibrant acidity, maintaining a lovely energy throughout.  This tapers off with medium length and gently tannic, leaving a bitter licorice tinge that makes for a pleasant punctuation." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Ruby red in color tending towards garnet with ageing. Intense and broad bouquet, rich in scents of mellow red fruit enriched by delicate spicy notes. Dry and soft on the palate with velvety tannins. Balanced, very intense, persistent and elegant." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
