Brunello di Montalcino Il Palazzone 2021 (750ML)

94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Taut and solidly built, this red evokes cherry, blackberry, iron, wild herb and Mediterranean scrub flavors. A thick carpet of tannins emerges as this winds down on the powerful, savory finish. Best from 2030 through 2050. 948 cases made, 625 cases imported." 03/26

94 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is cool-toned and fresh, mixing minty herbs and menthol with wild strawberries, gravel dust and shaved citrus. It is a pure pleasure on the palate, silken and serene, with ripe wild berry fruits and crunchy mineral tones. This 2021 leaves a gentle staining of fine tannins and licorice as hints of sour citrus and clove add a pleasantly bitter tinge. (Drink between 2028-2046)" 11/25

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Showing intensity and finesse, the Palazzone 2021 Brunello offers aromas of blue flower, Mediterranean scrub, eucalyptus and fine tobacco blend. On the elegant, savory palate, Marasca cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange and star anise dance across the palate while taut, refined tannins provide seamless support. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced and vibrant. Drink 2030–2036. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe" 11/25
