JD94 The 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Quatrantennale is beautiful, with layers of medicinal herbs, kirsch, and pressed roses. Medium-bodied, with lovely concentration throughout, it offers ripe raspberry and black raspberry notes as well as a lovely mineral texture with fine tannins and a woven feel. It is elegant and expressive and has a lot to love. It is drinking beautifully now and will drink well over the next ten or more years.
VIN91 The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is understated in the glass, showing only hints of musky blackberry and dusty dried flowers. This is a round and pure e!ort, with pretty red and black fruits o!set by violet-tinged inner florals. It leaves a sweet and sour interplay of ripe berries and hints of citrus while tapering o! lightly structured.
Estate Notes: Aromas of autumn leaves, small red berries, light spice, hints of vanilla. Textured, smooth; tannins are present yet suave, long finish. Three separate estate-owned and planted parcels, totaling 13.5 acres, are located not far from the town of Montalcino, between 1,200 and 1,500 feet above sea level, with varying expositions and soils. Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks; each vineyard vinified separately. Aged in older French oak tonneaux for eight months, then in older, 32HL Slavonian casks (“botti”) for an additional 30 months.
