2006 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva $594 6pack
94 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE
"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a beautiful wine. Powerful, taut and austere, the 2006 shows all of the qualities that make traditional Brunello compelling. Black cherries, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs wrap around the intense finish. Judging by the huge tannins, the 2006 is going to require patience, but it is very pretty, even today. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026."
2004 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva $594 6pack
94 POINTS WINE ADVOCATE
"The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (from vines in Podernovone) is a magnificent wine. Super-ripe, racy dark raspberries, flowers and sweet spices emerge from this impeccably balanced Brunello. In 2004 the Riserva reveals gorgeous transparency and clarity to match the generous fruit. The wine’s inner sweetness, richness and depth are all first-rate, while the firm tannins convey an impression of elegant classicism. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024."
