This expression definitely shows its oaky side but that new oak style (French tonneaux primarily) is characteristic of this estate located in the Torrenieri subzone that makes some of the darkest and most extracted expressions of Brunello regardless. Dark fruit, prune, plum, cherry, spice, cedar, cardamon and grilled herb all compete for your attention. The ensemble is bold, opulent and rich in a way that most other Brunello wines are not. There is a note of sourness on the tannins. Every once in a while you need a supersized Brunello to pair with that T-bone steak you crave. — Monica Larner\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate (Issue 217, February 2015), 90 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenuta Vitanza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948839923759,"sku":"I0EE267053SGM","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/vitanzariservalbl.jpg?v=1771484511","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/vitanza-brunello-di-montalcino-riserva-2009","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
