"The nose has the savory, umami, spicy feel of cranberries, blood orange, pepper and coffee. Tart and sweet berries make themselves known on the palate, but those savory, spicy elements continue to dominate. Tannins are firm and linear." —Wine Enthusiast

"Frozen cherries, strawberries and floral character. Direct on the attack, this is round and fruity with medium body and some lightly chewy tannins. Moderate finish. Drink now." —James Suckling

"The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino is a youthful ruby hue and is potent with aromas of stewed strawberries, medicinal herbs, vanilla, leather, and sweet cedar. Full-bodied, it coats the palate with a supple and coating texture and has a ripe profile, though it retains some freshness. I would prefer this over the near term while it keeps some levity. Drink 2026-2032." —Jeb Dunnuck
