Tasting Notes & Reviews:
"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Fiore is a tightly constructed wine, with balanced aromas and good integration in terms of both the acidity and the tannins. These results have been smoothed over and finely polished by barrel and bottle aging over these past five years since the harvest. In fact, it's nothing but smooth sailing over the senses from start to long finish. Nothing is out of place, and I expect the tannins to further soften before this production of 4,000 bottles is released in March of 2021." 95+/100, Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Dec'2020
"This Brunello is rich and fruity, with latent power and a solid structure. Plum, black cherry, iron, tobacco and black tea flavors are matched to lively acidity and dense tannins, while the aftertaste echoes fruit and mineral accents. Best from 2025 through 2045. 400 cases made, 50 cases imported." 95/100, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
"Aromas of plums, walnuts and dried flowers with some cedar and sandalwood. It’s full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and an intense, juicy finish. This needs time to soften. Better after 2023." 94/100, James Suckling, Nov'2020
