Sweet spices, roses and dusty stone give way to rubbed sage and rosemary as the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino slowly evolves in the glass. This is pure elegance, silky-smooth and supple with a mineral tinge that adds a lovely depth to its black cherry fruit as brisk acidity adds a lovely tension. Saline minerals cascade throughout as a tinge of orange mingles with gritty tannins, and liquid stone notes linger through the long and staining finale. (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2023)

Just beautiful. Absolutely killer with our wagyu beef and black trumpet linguini.

Drink quickly to blackberry & plums. Dark cherry/tobacco fine cigar. Doesn’t hang around long though, so enjoy the moment!
