The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is rich and darkly alluring with a pleasantly rustic touch, as a burst of crushed black cherries and autumnal spice is lifted by suggestions of mint and white smoke. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness, showing remarkable purity and enveloping, plush textures as ripe red and blue fruits swirl throughout, guided by vibrant acidity. A tactile mineral tinge lingers along with gently grippy tannins as the 2016 tapers off with a sour sensation that keeps the mouth watering as a savory herbal thrust slowly fades. This bottle isn’t showing the purity of previous experiences, yet remains a killer Brunello. (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2023)

Second time with this wine. Some grip on open but after 3hr decant rewarded with leather, black olives - great depth. Tannins integrate and wine is so smooth. Winner

Medium acidity, well balanced, complex and earthy. Some tobacco. A lush Sangiovese with lovely mouthfeel. Thoroughly enjoyed with filet mignon with wild mushrooms!

Pairing with Ragù Bolognese. Tight and closed at first; needs time to open up. Tobacco, earth, and truffle/mushroom aromas and flavors with juicy cherry hints. Decanting this big boy is recommended.
