Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gianni Brunelli 2013 (750ML)

96+ Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate: "This is a terrific wine that performs with grace, elegance and lengthy endurance. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva stands out in my mind as one of the most enjoyable riservas I have tasted from this classic vintage. The aromas are balanced and neatly tucked in. The effect it seamless and smooth with a virtual continuum of wild berry, rose, spice and autumnal aromas. Nothing is out of place and the wine feels glossy and polished in terms of mouthfeel. The tannins are firm but expertly integrated, giving this wine a prolonged future drinking window. Some 3,026 bottles, 120 magnums and ten double magnums were made." 1/19

94+ Points, Ian D'Agata, Vinous: "Good bright red. Musky redcurrant, black cherry, violet, rose petal and ink on the perfumed, refined nose. Juicy, spicy and pure, with noteworthy cut and clarity to the flavors of red berry, cherry and minerals. Very silky but with a long, ripely tannic finish." 3/19

93 Points, James Suckling: "Some fresh red-berry and cherry aromas here make an initial impression of youthful Brunello. The palate delivers a succulent and fleshy edge with bright and juicy red-plum flavors, presented in upbeat, assertive mode. Drink or hold." 1/19
