This riserva is silky, firm and polished, with bright fruit nuances of wild berry, almond skin, cola and lingering menthol overtones. The mouthfeel is bright and crisp, with a very fine, smooth texture. Dusty mineral notes appear on the finish. — (5/1/2012) —94

Cherry, red apple, spice and moist tobacco emerge from the nose of this Brunello Riserva. The wine offers impressive intensity and density in the mouth and the finish is long lasting and very enjoyable. ——M.L.(10/1/2010)—— 91
