Brunello di Montalcino Nastagio Col d'Orcia 2015 (750ML)

94 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This late-release Brunello is not identified as a Riserva. The Col d'Orcia 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Nastagio (made with organic fruit) opens to dark berry, cherry, plum, potting soil and balsam herb. The wine shows a full-bodied style, although these results are never too dense or compact. In fact, it offers a loosely knit texture with a warm and penetrating fruit profile that is very characteristic of this vintage. The tannins are tight, so give the wine a little extra time. This is a 13,500-bottle release." 11/20

97 Points, James Suckling: "This is one of the most powerful and structured Brunellos I have tasted from the 2015 vintage, showing rich, chewy tannins that are polished and poised. It’s full-bodied and chewy, yet focused and pretty. There’s purity of fruit that is very, very impressive. From organically grown grapes. This needs at least three or four years to soften and come together. Best wine ever from here. Better after 2023." 11/20

95 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "A blast of fresh black cherry and black currant fruit is shaded by mineral, vetiver, tobacco and earth flavors in this intense red. Firm, dense, and stays long on the tightly-packed finish. Best from 2025 through 2050."

97+ Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: "From soils of great skeleton, a sophisticated and elegant Brunello, with an extraordinary potential. Spicy nose from pepper leaf and a balsamic trace due to alcohol-infused cherries. The mouth is ample, comforting and juicy with a pleasant tannic texture. Stunning persistence."
