Bruno Besa | Deep core to ruby, pink rim. Open, ripe, floral nose, with black cherries, prunes, cedarwood, cloves, and violets. Full-bodied, with big tannins, well-balanced by the layered, ripe fruit. Long and generous, clean finish. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Clear black-red. Rather rough-hewn aromas; raw and slightly rasping, lacking the purity and finesse of the best of its peers. Dense and exuberant but rather rustic in style. | 87

Anthony Rose | Mid-ruby, quite intense in color; a hint of cinnamon oak on the nose; very nicely evolved Sangio fruit quality, with weight and depth and the oak that first appeared on the nose taking a background role, so the overall feeling is one of nicely combined red fruit and structure, oak taking second place, as it should, for a very good, authentic style of Brunello. | 92
