"On the nose, a flash of flint contrasts with the perfume of rose water, cherry blossom, citrus and cranberries. Those cherry blossoms produce fruit on the palate, rich with cherries and berries before a lightly smoky, chili chocolate finish. Acid adds vibrancy. — Danielle Callegari"

"Lifted floral notes of lilacs and rose hips, followed by a mix of red fruit and spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Balanced overall. Needs some more time to soften and a touch more fruit. Drink after 2027."

"Red with an orange tinge, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe with red cherry candies, dried flowers, sweet herbs, and baked red fruit. This medium-bodied Brunello has an approachable texture. with ripe tannins and a linear, supple feel. It's elegant and charming red to enjoy over the next 5-7 years."

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly floral with a rich blend of plum sauce, sage and hints of cocoa forming its attractive bouquet. This washes across the palate with ease, soft and enveloping with a tart core of wild berry fruit guided by brisk acidity. It finishes with medium length and staining, sweet herbal tones and a gentle coating of fine tannin."

"Medium ruby-red. Tobacco and licorice complicate red cherry and smoky plum on the nose. Simple, glycerally sweet red fruit and tobacco flavours linger nicely on the youthfully chewy medium-long finish."

"Impenetrable dark ruby. A curious nose of rich, dark fruit with dried fruit and top notes of cassis, cinnamon and apple peel. Lots of fruit, tannins and acidity on the palate, but still it cannot escape the impression that this is a little overripe and pushed for concentration. (WS) 14%"

"Dried flowers and dried cherries, tar and vibrant black cherries. Full-bodied and juicy with substance and ripe, velvety tannins and a slightly more austere finish due to its youth. Refreshing, though. Drinkable now, yet at its peak in no less than one to two years."

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is backward and intense, smoky and borne of the earth, with masses of crushed rocks, sage and rosemary giving way to dried black cherries and cloves. It sweeps across the palate with silky textures and ripe black fruits, gaining further complexity through a core of flint stone minerals. Fresh acidity maintains energy and a mouthwatering feel. The 2020 tapers off long and staining, yet only gently tannic. This combination of rich fruit and juicy personality is wildly attractive."

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows a touch of over-ripeness with sun-dried prune and cherry liqueur. These potent aromas give this wine a heavily enriched bouquet that is backed by sweet spice, licorice and barbecue smoke. This Brunello is one of the more concentrated and toasted wines among these new releases. It is aged in French oak for 30 months. Production is 10,000 bottles."

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Firm and still compact on the nose with earthy notes over subdued cherry. Juicy cherry fruit with grainy tannins. Solid rather than exciting. (WS)"
