Brunello Di Montalcino Fattoria dei Barbi 2019 (750ML)

97 Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: “The Brunello ‘vintage’ of Fattoria dei Barbi, a staple of the typology, in a balanced version, olfaction that opens on pomegranate notes, then wild rosemary, juniper and clementine peel. Brackish sip, with a return of pomegranate and officinal notes.” 10/23

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: “Offering a clean and bright fruit profile, the Fattoria dei Barbi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows plum, dark cherry and blackberry. The fruit presented in this vintage is fresh, velvety, nicely contoured and still tastes quite primary in nature. This bodes well for the wine's future bottle evolution. The tannins are slightly chalky but supported by rich texture…Great job here.” 12/23

95 Points, James Suckling: “Blueberry and orange peel with some cedar and nutmeg in the aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with firm and polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Polished and refined, yet structured. Solid wine.” 9/23

94 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a ruby/garnet color and leaps from the glass with lots of purity and personality, revealing notes of wild cherries, pine needles, Mediterranean herbs, and crushed roses. Medium-bodied, it’s snappy with fine tannins, crunchy acidity, and a mouthwatering mineral finish. It’s zesty and inviting, with refreshing lift and a cooling sensibility, and although it’s light on its feet, it’s highly expressive. Very well done. Drink 2024-2034..." 02/28/24
