  Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): This Brunello is produced only in the best vintages, being sourced entirely from the 29-acre Pianrosso vineyard. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and concrete vats, it was then aged for 36 months in used Slavonian oak foudres of varying sizes. Medium-to-deep garnet in color, it flaunts an intense bouquet of red currants, dark plums, blood oranges, pickling spice, cocoa, violets and loamy earth. Medium-bodied, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%) and with lively acids, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, wrapping them with plentiful plush tannins and a modicum of wood. Layered on the mid-palate and lengthy on the back end, this is an absolute delight to drink. It should reach its twentieth birthday with grace. Drink now-2038.

  Decanted for 3 hours. Very good wine with coffee, dark berries, cocoa and some herbs. Fresh, rich and full of life.

  Viss antydan till VA. Rätt stalligt i överhand. Solmogen frukt som domineras av jordgubbar och körsbär.
  
  Fylls väldigt fint i munnen där frukten står i centrum med körsbärskärnor, mandel och jordgubbar och avslutas med drag av tjära. Sammetslena tanniner och en relativt komplex upplevelse och fin längd.
  
  92p.

  Perfumed nose and chunky cherry on palate. Balanced and tart with depth. Delicious. Drink now or hold for further development.

  Här snackar vi frukt, men på ett snyggt och raffinerat sätt – det smakar kvalitet. Det var rätt varmt 2018 så kanske inte så konstigt frukten finns där. Syran är heller inte riktigt lika påtaglig som den ibland kan vara i sangiovese-viner. Det bjuds på ett långt avslut som hänger sig kvar. Detta är lätt att tycka om!
