2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Vininformation

94 point - Wine Spectator: "This is rich, with plum, cherry, spice, soy and iron flavors, supported by a spine of vibrant acidity and refined tannins. Firm yet fluid, fading gracefully on the long, fruit- and mineral-tinged aftertaste."

93 point - Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of fragrant blue flower, pipe tobacco, black-skinned fruit and smoke shape the nose. On the palate, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity accompany ripe plum, orange zest, vanilla and charcuterie before a coffee-bean finish."

93 point - Vinous: "The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is dark, rich and ripe, showing crushed plum and sweet apple, giving way to confectionery spices, orange zest, sweet minerals and florals, in a primary, fruit-forward expression. On the palate, soft textures give way to dark red berries and sweet spices. Subtle but deep mint, herbs, orange spice, and hints of cedar come to the fore. The finish is long, showing dark chocolate and sweet spices, with lingering herbal tones and hints of fine tannins resonating beneath it all. It’s hard to imagine how the 2013 Riserva will mature, as it’s already in an extremely enjoyable stage of its evolution."

92 point - James Suckling: "This has aromas of candied cherries and chocolate, as well as vanilla and candied orange zest. The palate offers a ripe serving of vanilla-dusted red fruit in a riper mode."

91+ point - Vinous: "Good saturated red. Clean aromas of smoke, flint, dark and red berries, with a herbal undertone. Strikes a nice balance between firmness and ripeness, with dense flavors of smoked sausage, dark and red berries and licorice. Finishes clean and ripe."

Her får du et pragtstykke af en Brunello, som er moden, koncentreret og uhyre kompleks. Farven er intens rubinrød farve med granatrøde reflekser. I næsen byder vinen på en rigdom af æteriske aromaer og violer, iris, kanel, tobak og læder. Smagen er rund, varm og fløjlsblød. Der er en harmonisk balance mellem den rige, modne frugt og den unikke tanninstruktur, som leder over i en meget lang og ren eftersmag. Dekanter vinen mindst en time, før den skal skænkes. Nyd dette pragtstykke af en Brunello til smagsintense retter med rødt kød, vildt og modne oste. Vinen har et gemmepotentiale på mindst 20 år.
