This is a dark and syrupy expression with black fruit aromas of blackberry preserves and prune. You definitely taste the warmth and sunshine in this hot-vintage Sangiovese. The bouquet is intense and rich, but the wine is not as long-lived in terms of mouthfeel. This is a wine of immediate power and volume. - Monica Larner\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #235, February 2018), 92 points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\"Medium dark red. High-pitched red berry and floral aromas, plus a hint of underbrush and smoked beef adding weight. Shows good depth and spicy red fruit character in the mouth, featuring a creamy texture and flourishes of cinnamon and mocha. The finish showcases lingering red fruit and savory elements. Much deeper and more interesting than Poggio Nardone’s disappointing 2013 Brunello. - Ian D'Agata\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (April 2018), 91 points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px;\"\u003e\"Deep cherry flavors darken into tones of tobacco and damp leaves as this robust Brunello is exposed to air.
