Caparzo - Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 (750ml)

94 Points Wine Spectator

“This is lively, displaying fresh cherry, blackberry, plum, black pepper, earth and menthol flavors. Ripe, dense and lifted by formidable tannins. All of the components seem to be in the right place as this finds its equilibrium on the lingering finish.” (BS)

94 Points Wine Advocate 

“In the bottle with the black label, the Caparzo 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva makes a terrific first impression thanks to the intensity of its dark fruit aromas and its well-integrated spice. This is a full-bodied wine with deep layers of richness and velvety tannins. There is a hint of concentrated fruit sourness (and sweetness too, from the grape skins) that will subside as this 20,000-bottle release takes on more age in the cellar.” (ML)

94 Points Wine Enthusiast

"Earthy and floral on the nose, with delicate rose petals, flinty top soil, pencil shavings, bing cherry and fresh, wild fennel. A warm, cherry-berry compote palate is bright and sweet, but polished round tannins give a slick mouthfeel." (DC)
