Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 1999
- 97 points -
The 1999 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva is expressive of integrating leather, dried cherry, red plum, and tobacco. It is medium to full-bodied, with ripe, present tannins, and although its components are integrated into its maturity, it has impressive length and concentration of fruit throughout, with kirsch, crushed flowers, and sage. It is a fantastic representation of the potential and history of the estate.
