wine score
92 point Wine Advocate
The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a ripe fruit profile with dried cherry and blackberry confit. The wine is very dry in taste, with oak spice, crushed stone and pressed roses. It feels thin on the mid-palate but extends graciously to a long, polished finish. Again, like many of the new releases from this vintage, we are looking at a near or medium-term drinking window.
91 points Wine Spectator
Marked by bracing acidity, this red features cherry, rose hip, mint and earth notes. Taut and crisp, with a chalky sensation on the long, resonant finish.
94 points James Suckling
This has complex aromas of mulberries, strawberries, red tea, dried flowers, cocoa powder, wild thyme and hazelnuts. So bright and lively with a medium to full body and firm, fine-grained tannins. Poised and fresh, even refreshing, with wild berry fruit lingering on a lengthy finish.
