"Starts with black cherries, violets and bark, followed by a hint of crushed rock. Medium-bodied with stringent tannins. Still tight and a little lean now, this needs more time to soften. Better after 2025."

"Dark, maturing ruby with orange tinges. Rich and concentrated and even a little overripe on the nose. Sappy and lush, but not showing a lot of definition on the palate. Slightly drying tannins on the finish might indicate a forced delayed picking. (WS) 14%"

"The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Vigna Delle Raunate takes a second to open in the glass and then reveals ripe aromas of red plums, tar, and balsamic herbs, and a delicate and pleasing rustic note of saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied, it has lovely concentration on the palate, with ripe tannins, good purity, and notes of black tea on the finish. It's a very well styled wine to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years."

"Bright red. Easygoing aromas and flavours of red cherry and sweet spices. Boasts very nice acid/sugar/tannin/fruit balance, making for a suave, nicely approachable drink. Closes nicely pure, fresh and long. Drinking window: 2028-2036."

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with a dark and dusty bouquet as dried flowers and crushed stone give way to red currants. It's soft textured with tactile mineral tones up front, adding a crunchy character to the tart wild berry fruits within. The 2019 finishes long and staining, leaving a tinge of balsamic spice and a liquid stone sensation that mellows over a bed of fine tannins. This is a brighter style for Mocali, and I like it quite a bit."

"This is a richly textured Sangiovese with sweet plum, cooked cherry, spice and crème de cassis. The Mocali 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine focused mostly on texture and mouthfeel. It imparts nice weight to the palate with fine, chalky tannins."

"Though tightly wound, there's a core of concentrated cherry and plum to this red, along with accents of earth, tobacco and rosemary. Fresh and balanced, leaving a layer of fine tannins on the extended finish. Best from 2027 through 2042. 4,200 cases made, 3,000 cases imported."
