Notes | |||
"Aromas of raspberry and cherry, backed up by notes of mint, earthy spice, and chocolate. Medium-bodied on the palate with the perfect mix of sweet fruit notes and ripe tannins." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"I like the floral and herb undertones to this, with potpourri, thyme, bramble berries, cherries and lemons. Bright and tangy yet full-bodied, with silky tannins and ripe, juicy fruit. Zesty finish. Drink or hold." —James Suckling "The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino slowly comes to life in the glass with a dark array of steeped plums, lavender and crushed rocks. It's silky, almost creamy, in texture, with ripe red and black fruits complemented by sweet inner herbal tones and brisk acidity. The 2018 finishes structured and powerful, yet balanced, as a collection of minerals adds a crunchy sensation under an air of violet-tinged inner florals. Mocali did a fine job of integrating the exotic qualities of the vintage with their house style. Well done." —Vinous |
