Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio Val di Suga 2020 (750ML)

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Fresh and smooth, this lovely red has aromas of violet, camphor, forest floor and dark-skinned berry. It’s full-bodied, delicious and elegantly structured, with flavors of mature Marasca cherry, wild raspberry, cake spice and star anise enveloped in velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced while an iron mineral note gives it a tangy finish. 2028–2038.Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe January 2025" 01/25

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Focused on black cherries and plums, with touches of soapy, flowery notes and subtle spices. Firm tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate with crisp acidity and a supple, juicy finish. Drink or hold." 09/24

93 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio entices with a rich blend of plum sauce, grilled herbs, crushed rocks and lifting hints of pine. This is more lifting and pure in style, with a cascade of mineral-infused red berry fruits that course over a pulse of brisk acidity. Grippy and long, the 2020 tapers off with a mass of structure and tart concentration yet maintains fantastic energy and verve. (Drink between 2027-2034)" 11/24

96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Revealing a slightly darker shade of ruby red in the glass, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Poggio Al Grancio is darker but just as compelling on the nose, with notes of black raspberry liqueur, fresh flowers, sappy herbs, mossy earth, and root beer spice. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, it has a rounded, seamless feel and texture and a long, delicately savory finish, with notes of blood orange to close. It’s very lovely wine to enjoy over the coming 12-15 years. (Drink between 2025-2040)" 01/25

94+ Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Val di Suga 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio offers dark fruit aromas that are generous and fleshed out in this warm vintage. The bouquet has a few high notes as well with spice, tobacco and crushed stone that give upward lift. It's an all-encompassing Brunello that hits both your sense of smell and taste with an attractive level of intensity and focus. Production is 9,000 bottles." 11/24
