“The dark plum/garnet-colored 1993 Brunello di Montalcino offers up a knock-out nose of fruitcake, Asian spices, incense, flowers, red and black fruits, earth, and minerals. It is one of the most complex bouquets I have ever smelled in a wine. In the mouth, it is sweet, ripe, and round, with exceptional purity and ripeness, but, surprisingly, not the weight one would associate with such a provocative and persistent fragrance…This fascinating wine is made in extremely limited quantities as the estate's production is approximately 2,000 cases.” Wine Advocate #119, Oct 1998 |
