"Impenetrable dark crimson and enormous colour both for the vintage and the grape variety. Firm, concentrated dark cherry and blueberry peppered with spice and notes of oak – super-skilfully done. Suave and lots of concentration, perfectly balanced and layered with fine tannins. Definitely needs another year in bottle. (WS)"

"The full-bodied 2020 Lisini Brunello has intense balsamic aromas of camphor and eucalyptus that mingle with violet, dark-skinned berry and dark spice. Bold, high-toned and already delicious even at this primary stage, the firm, enveloping palate delivers crushed raspberry, fleshy Morello cherry, star anise and white pepper before a black tea finish. Tightly woven, close-grained tannins provide the backbone while fresh acidity keeps it lifted. Drink 2029–2035. Abv: N/A Kerin O'Keefe November 2024"

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a total pleasure to take in, with its florist shop bouquet of perfumed violet, lavender and wet stone complementing dusty dried strawberries and hints of rhubarb. Zesty and fresh, sporting medium-bodied weight, it sweeps across the palate with tart wild berry fruit and lavender tones, propelled by zesty acidity. The 2020 doesn't skip a beat, finishing with silty tannins, tinges of licorice and sour citrus and fantastic length."

"A mix of graphite, cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors marks this expressive red. Earth, leather and wild herb accents add depth, and this shows the structure to develop for at least a decade or more. Its firm, dusty tannins will require time to integrate. Best from 2027 through 2045."
