99/100Eric Guido,Vinous
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a total head-turner, vividly fruit-forward yet refined. It's a model of purity. Ripe black cherry, exotic spice, licorice, rose petals, cedar and sage are all delineated in the glass. This is one of the most harmonious wines of the vintage, texturally deep and silky-smooth with masses of red fruits complicated by hints of clove, crunchy minerals and a core of vibrant acidity. Dramatically long and potent yet still fresh, the 2015 echoes with a cascade of spice and inner florals over a complex web of graphite-tinged tannins. Frankly, it's hard not to call this a perfect wine, which it may be one day down the road.
