Nicolas Belfrage | Relatively deep ruby, with just a hint of garnet on the rim. Nose fresh and attractive but as yet showing little evolution. But grows in the mouth, with good underlying structure and tight, tannic ma non troppo grip. Forceful finish, plenty to it, needs a few years—drink from 2022. | 92
Bruno Besa | Deep ruby to pink. Clean, complex, youthful red-fruits nose, with fresh herbs, mature red cherries, and pronounced mineral character. Medium to full body, inviting and super-clean raspberries and red cherries palate, with a long, youthful finish. A very well-made Sangiovese that needs a number of years to show its pedigree. | 93
Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear black-red in color. Sweet, warm, moistly plummy scents; some leafy freshness, too: an attractive scent. Vivid, fresh, rounded, and a little more exuberant than some of its peers, with mouth-filling plum and currant fruit teased to full ripeness, attractively fresh acidity, sound backing tannins, and a tea-leaf refinement. Enjoyable Brunello for the near to medium term. | 88
