"Evolved notes of tobacco and forest floor dominate here. Meaty aromas, together with dried cherries and darker fruit, too. Medium-bodied, showing lifted acidity and firm tannins with thick extraction, giving a drying finish. Drink or hold."

"Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Already a little evolved and savoury rather than fruity with stalky notes. Mature strawberry fruit lifted by the supple acidity, but overall the fruit could be fresher. Ready now. (WS)"

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is mineral-rich, with a dark floral profile containing notes of graphite and crushed stone that come together with grilled herbs and savory spice. It's surprisingly juicy and fresh, with a cascade of ripe red plums and rosy inner florals energized by vibrant acidity. It leaves a tart cranberry concentration, finishing gently tannic yet full of youthful tension. Further time in bottle should help to lift its brooding aromatics—nicely done."

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows a classic bouquet for aged Sangiovese. There are some dried cherry aromas with grilled herb, pressed flower, licorice and sweet earth. You get a little bit of everything. The effect is well-balanced and fresh, and there is enough power to stand up to a slow-simmered meat sauce for pasta."
