• Jochems Likes this wine: 95 points

  June 9, 2012 - Montalcino visit June 2012; 6/8/2012-6/10/2012 (Montalcino): This is how I like my Brunello: refined and complex! And this wine was quite approachable right now, where other '06 seem to be closing down already.
  Medium ruby color. Expressive aromas of cherry, fresh berries some blackcurrant and leather and some floral hints. Following trough full bodied with layers of silky tannins against a strong backbone of acidity and balanced fruit. The finish seems to keep going on for ever!
  This wine comes close to the '01 riserva, which is one of my favorites of this house. It has a long life ahead and will develop more complexity over time (95+ pts?). Drink 2016 - 2031.
