91 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers robust textural structure with dark berry nuances intermingled with spice, tobacco and cured leather. The wine sits heavy on the palate and coats the mouth with ripe fruity intensity. This is a warm-vintage Brunello that delivers loads of short and medium-term intensity. The Riserva sees 36 months in oak. The alcohol is high here, recorded as 15%, and you feel it. Only 3,000 bottles were produced."
