"A very fine-tannined red with dark-berry, rose-hip, bark and cedar character. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins that are polished and juicy. Hints of ash and spice to it all. Shows class and structure. Best after 2026." —James Suckling

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is youthfully coy, wafting up with a pretty blend of dried strawberries, rose petals and fresh mint. It flows easily across the palate, lifted and spry, showcasing tart red and blue fruits as tactile mineral tones form toward the close. The 2019 finishes perfumed and long, with a staining of blackberry and sage as edgy tannins resonate. Patience will be required." —Vinous
