Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A dense, solidly built red, with wild herb, eucalyptus and soy aromas enveloping the core of cherry and plum fruit. Balanced and lingers nicely on the fruity, savory and tobacco-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2040. 3,208 cases made, 100 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is balanced and bright with lots of luscious primary fruit. The wine opens to soft tones of cherry, dried raspberry, crushed flowers and spice. It moves over the palate with mid-weight intensity, imparting plenty of Sangiovese freshness along the way. The tannins are sweet and carefully integrated in this production of 38,500 bottles. Drink date: 2024-2038. Monica Larner
