There’s a very fresh array here of thyme, newly picked blackcurrants, iodine, crushed stones and sea salt. The exuberant fruit is matched nicely to fine and elegant tannins, which paint a compact and neat picture on the medium-to full-bodied palate... James Suckling

Cab Sauv, Merlot and Syrah Blend. Deep Ruby with aromas of black and red fruits and floral spice aromas. On the palate black cherry and blackberry flavors with licorice, espresso and sweet oak spice. Smooth and refined tannins, long ending with fruit and sweet earthy tones.

The 2017 Bolgheri Il Bruciato is pliant, supple and luscious, but what stands out most is how much freshness Antinori was able to keep in this wine. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, new leather and floral notes all meld together in this sumptuous, racy red. This is such a pretty and expressive wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Loved the 2017 with pizza, alongside garlic grilled chicken and with a meaty ribeye. Yeah we probably stretched it, but if any bottle could be the equivalent of the giving tree, it’s the bruciato.

Lush black fruits. Spicy forest floor. Gripping tannins, big acidity. Red meat for this one.

This was the winner of Friday night wine club by a mile; 5 1st place votes. I was fortunate to win with this and never had drank it before. The fruit on the tongue made the difference. This wine won for us because of the advice and help from Jeffrey Bell, sommelier and owner of Eleven Eleven wine shop in the Benson community of Omaha. Here is my point of recognizing Jeffery; if you are in a similar wine competition; seek out a recommendation from a professional like Jeffery.

2017- strong earthy minerality, soft spiciness, good bright fruit, raspberry.

At a non-BYOB restaurant in Houston so had to get a wine from their list. We tasted this wine at the winery in Tuscany last year so we decided to try it with the meal. Very extensive & expensive wine list...this was a low end option. Heard about this restaurant from Jesse Kelly (Houston talk radio) about a year ago and finally got to try it.
