Brunello di Montalcino Val di Suga 2019 (750ML)

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Immediate and accessible in personality, the Val di Suga 2019 Brunello di Montalcino (with 90,000 bottles released) is very clean and polished in presentation and especially from a tactile point of view. Neat fruit aromas of dark cherry, mulberry and cassis fold into spice and earthiness. The wine's bright freshness also stands out and adds intensity and vibrancy to this mid-weight Brunello." 12/23

92 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter: "A compilation of three distinctly diverse terroirs within Montalcino, Val di Suga’s estate Brunello is made up of equal shares from Vigna del Lago in the northeast, Poggio al Granchio in the southeast and Vigna Spuntali in the southwest. The bright ruby colour and youthful freshness are well preserved. Focused aromas of red cherry with flecks of pepper give way to deeper violet and sweet earth. Appealing and pure, the mid-weight palate offers a layer of luscious red berries and plump persimmon underscored by juicy acidity. Sandy textured tannins are supple and yielding. Hard to resist now." 11/23

95 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "A deep ruby/red hue, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino displays a brooding and serious profile initially, with aromas of dried cherries, cigar box, smoky incense, mint, and wild herbs. It comes to life with a refined and elegant feel on the palate, offering fine tannins, fresh, even acidity, and a lovely mineral-tinged backbone with wonderful freshness and purity. This is a gorgeous entry to the Brunello offerings of Val di Suga in this stellar vintage. Drink 2024-2040." 02/24

92 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "The 2019 Brunello from Val di Suga has engaging aromas of ripe red berry, spice, hazelnut, camphor and citrus. On the linear, focused palate, taut tannins and fresh acidity accompany Morello cherry, orange zest and bitter almond before a mocha close. Drink 2027–2034. Abv: 14%" 11/23
