Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle Raunate Mocali 2019 (750ML)

94 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "This is pure and supple in texture, offering cherry, strawberry, rose and chalky mineral flavors. On the elegant side, yet with the density and tannins one expects from this part of Montalcino. Shows fine balance and length overall. Best from 2026 through 2042..." 04/24

94 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "A rich blend of plum sauce and grilled herbs is complemented by hints of licorice and spiced blood orange as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Della Raunate blossoms in the glass. This is silky, verging on velvety, with a dense wave of ripe red and black fruits that flow across a stream of brisk acidity. Its minerality comes forward on the finish, mingling with edgy tannins, yet the palate remains wonderfully refreshed through it all. This is a beautiful interpretation of Tavernelle terroir. Well done." 11/23

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: "The Mocali 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle Raunate carries lots of thick fruit weight that wraps over the palate in its entirety. There are hints of candied cherry, raspberry confit and baked plum. These dark fruit nuances give lift and verticality to the bouquet, but the wine is otherwise very broad and rich in terms of mouthfeel." 12/23

93 Points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: "Lots of dark fruit, such as black cherries and blue plums, as well as purple flowers, followed by a touch of cedar and coffee bean. Medium body with balanced, creamy acidity and firm tannins on the palate. Yet, it’s tight now. Better after 2027." 09/23

92 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, www.kerinokeefe.com: "Aromas of camphor, dog rose, exotic brown spice and botanical herb come to the forefront. The sleek, rather accessible palate offers prune, licorice, grilled Porcini and mocha alongside polished, fine-grained tannins." 11/23
