“Immediately impressive, this wine opens with a rich and spicy bouquet of dried cherries, leather, thyme, and Tuscan herbs. Aromas of blackberry, currant, and pipe tobacco waltz gracefully with vanilla and a hint of blood orange, inviting you into a deep and complex relationship. On the palate, it’s both round and chewy, layered with thick red fruit, balsamic richness, and a core of spicy cherry and cinnamon that lingers on the finish. Vivid acidity and dusty, firm tannins frame the bold flavors beautifully, while a classy structure and high-toned finesse echo the elegance of top-tier Bordeaux. The tight oak and saline finish suggest tremendous age-worthiness, with just enough fruit and structure to integrate the oak seamlessly over time. Prior to 2030, we recommend you decant 30 minutes before serving. Refreshing and powerful, this wine is poised to dazzle for another 10–15 years—pure magic from start to finish. Bravo.” - California Wine Advisors (4/2025)

“Hauntingly dark, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva displays a lovely elegance. A bouquet of mentholated black cherries and balsamic spices is lifted by whiffs of dried sage and pine shavings. Velvety smooth and nearly creamy in feel, it floods the palate with hints of ripe red and blue fruit. It has a core of zesty acidity maintains amazing energy and freshness. This leaves the senses enshrouded in a veil of fine-grained tannins, dramatically long and structured but with a concentration of primary saturation to balance. Bury this deep in the cellar—it’s a masterpiece in the making.” - Vinous Media (11/2023)
