Size750MLVintage2013SKU27382
Sporting cherry, strawberry, floral and leather aromas and flavors, this vibrant style is harmonious and structured, yet more elegant than powerful, with fine intensity and a lingering aftertaste. 95pts Wine SpectatorVasco Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2015SKU16144
Vasco Sassetti made a powerful brooding Brunello that conveys a healthy dose of dark minerality and earthiness that balances its ripeness. Despite its power, this is a fresh and lively wine. An attractive black cherry skin subtle bitterness reinforces the seriousness of this Brunello.Poggio Alto Brunello di Montalcino
WS93pts Wine SpectatorSize750MLVintage2016SKU27735
This wine opens to an inky dark appearance and a deep garnet color. The aromas span over to black fruit, oak spice, tobacco and espresso. They definitely represent the more contemporary side of the Sangiovese bouquet. There is good textural firmness and volume here to glue all those strong flavors tightly together. 93pts Wine SpectatorAgostina Pieri Brunello di Montalcino

The bouquet is rich and complete with layer after layer of ripe fruit intensity. The effect is succulent and rich. This Brunello drinks beautifully right now and shows a contemporary style with thick extraction and soft tannins. The mouthfeel also delivers good density and fullness, and that does not come easy in this vintage. 95pts James SucklingCaprili Brunello di Montalcino
IWC95pts James SucklingSize750MLVintage2018SKU27163
This is a very decadent Brunello with dried stems, charcuterie, bay leaf, Thai basil and earth. Full-bodied and dense, the deeply interlocked layers of dark fruit nearly tripping over the ropey, chewy tannin structure. 95pts James SucklingAltesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Classic is probably the best word to apply here, and I use that descriptor with care. The tannins are expertly integrated, and even at this young age, the wine shows no rough edges. It is polished and integrated to the end. 96pts Wine AdvocateAltesino Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG
Size750MLVintage2016SKU27989

Full-bodied and elegant, the smooth palate features fleshy black cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and tobacco alongside velvety, fine-grained tannins. 98pts Wine AdvocateValdicava Brunello di Montalcino
Size750MLVintage2005SKU26808
This is one of most rich, concentrated Brunellos of the vintage. Dark and enveloping on the palate, this powerful, virile Brunello closes with substantial heft. It should age beautifully on the depth of its fruit, but readers will enjoy a far more complete drinking experience if the wine is given at least few years in bottle to shed some of its baby fat.
