Brunello di Montalcino Mocali 2016 (750ML)

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Mocali 2016 Brunello di Montalcino offers good value in a great vintage. I don't think you'll find this level of Brunello quality at this price from any other producer in the appellation. This expression shows soft and dark fruit with plum, black cherry, balsam herb and dried lavender flower. The vines are harvested from a site with Galestro and gravel soils, and you get plenty of Sangiovese purity in this wine."

90 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty and fruit-forward expression of the vintage. Ripe strawberry and cherry waft up from the glass, complemented by notes of mint and a hint of pine. It’s soft and focused on purity with a charming inner sweetness, cooling acids and minerals. Although nuanced and feminine, and finishing quite fresh, there’s still enough underlying tannin to carry the 2016 Mocali through medium-term cellaring."

92 Points, James Suckling: "This is a full-bodied red with juicy red plums, chocolate and bark. Some intriguing ginger and white-pepper notes, too. Lots of fine tannin. Slightly austere at the finish. Tarry undertones. Drink after 2023."

94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Complex aromas of cherry, mint, camphor, leather, vetiver, iron and cigar box draw you in, while the flavors repeat these themes. Firmly structured, with a dense matrix of tannins and lively acidity for support. Best from 2025 through 2050. " 03/21

92 Points, Raffaele Vecchione, International Wine Report: "It starts off with a light reduction and needs air to show its essence. There are notes of sour cherries, elderflower, pressed jasmine, wet licorice and white musk. Medium-full body, well extracted tannins and a medium tension finish </br>that will relax over time. Better from 2022."
