James Suckling 94
A quite overt nose with blood oranges, smashed violets and macerated raspberries. The supple palate has medium body, crisp acidity and velvety tannins wrapped in lots of fruit. Pretty volume in the finish. Drink now.

A deep ruby red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva spent 31 months in large French oak barrels and is aromatic of kirsch, toasted baking spice, violets, anise, and sappy earth. Polished and inviting, with velvety tannins, it's a seamless and very impressive Riserva offering a long window for enjoyment, but it deserves cellaring. Bravo.

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is exotic, with a whiff of foreign spice and blood orange giving way to rum-soaked cherries and hints of Baker's chocolate. It's round and juicy in style, with crisp wild berry fruits elevated by nuances of candied citrus and sweet herbal tones. Wood-grain tannins frame the finish as the 2019 tapers off with potent length and a spicy sensation, all while a bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering for more.

In the bottle with the black label, the Poggio Antico 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is visibly concentrated and shows an inky dark appearance. The bouquet is also quite complex with dried spice, cinnamon and clover backed by sweet fruit and blackberry. The quality of the mouthfeel is tightly knit and intense. Make sure you choose a food pairing that can stand up to a wine with greater fruit weight such as this. Meats and dishes with truffle could work.

Shows black currant and violet- not your typical Brunello flavors, yet this exhibits fine harmony and drive. Iron, earth, eucalyptus and orange peel notes add detail as this glides to the lingering aftertaste. Beautifully balanced and supple.
