"Sour cherries with orange peel and hints of vanilla bean. Some bark, too. Medium body, with very fine tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Lean and agile. Drink after 2026."

"Concentrated mid ruby with orange tinges. Rather closed and a little stalky/reduced on the nose. Supple cherry fruit accompanied by mellow creamy notes and firm tannins. Those tannins would have needed a little extra fruit power to be truly balanced. (WS) 14.5%"

"Pale medium red. Elegant, clean, rich and very minerally, this is a beautifully suave and floral Brunello that also speaks of wild strawberries, raspberry licqueur and orange peel. The aftertaste is juicy and very pure, not to mention focused and brightly energetic. Excellent wine in very much made in a Euro style, but if you like Chambolle-Musigny and Margaux then you can't not like a Sangiovese wine that is so perfumed, floral and stylish. Drinking window: 2029-2040."

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens slowly in the glass, evolving with a blend of dried black cherries, spiced orange and hints of shaved cedar. It's soft textured, nearly fleshy in feel, with a balancing core of tart wild berry fruits and brisk acidity. A gentle coating of grippy tannins lingers along with orange and inner rose notes as the 2019 finishes with medium length and youthfully tense."
