The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is a dark and powerful wine. It shows immediate richness and obvious complexity with spices, tobacco, cured meat and dried blackberries or plums. It is characterised by its intensity, power, integrity and balance. The aromatic momentum continues to grow and becomes more extensive and complete the more air the wine absorbs in the glass, although it is only at the beginning of a long ageing process. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fine roasted notes, dark cherries, the finest floral notes, roses, violets and ripe forest fruits. Close-knit, gripping, lean, juicy finesse, fresh, elegant and full of finesse on the palate." Weinwisser

"A parade of rosemary, mint, cardamom and clove immediately casts a spell. They repeat on the dense, lush palate of dark red cherry and persimmon, where confidently extracted, dry and chalky tannins firm up the edges. The juicy acidity gives it some oomph, and it's definitely more powerful than elegant; it will appeal to those who appreciate a bolder style." Decanter

"The cherry and strawberry fruit in this red is framed by oak spice notes, with an underlying element of flint. Elegant and light-bodied, this shows staying power. The lingering finish echoes the fruit and spice accents." Wine Spectator

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva wears a heavy coat of oak that adds sweet cinnamon and vanilla flavours. Those oak tones are prominent, but they still remain sweet and hydrated; and that's a plus because you don't get drying tannins, although there is a pinch of astringency at this young stage. Blackberry and dried rose potpourri can be detected along with sandalwood and sauna wood." Wine Advocate

"Aromas of flowers, flint, graphite and smoke on the nose. Reducing in a very good sense of the word. Similar character on the palate with lots of black cherries, dark chocolate and cedar. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish. Showing excellent balance and integrity now." James Suckling

"The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is haunting dark and beautifully elegant. A bouquet of mentholated black cherries and balsamic spices is softened by a hint of dried sage and pine shavings. The palate is velvety soft and almost creamy, flooded with notes of ripe red and blue fruits. Its core of zesty acidity provides amazing energy and freshness. Wrapping the senses in a veil of fine-grained tannins, it is dramatically long and structured, but with a concentration of primary saturation to balance. Bury this wine deep in the cellar - it's a masterpiece in the making." Vinous
