2018 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

94 POINTS

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows a pretty, mid-weight appearance with shiny dark ruby highlights. The wine offers soft fruit with cherry and wild forest berry at the front. On a second wave, it delivers light spice, earthy mineral and cured tobacco. Both the fruity and the savory sides of the wine are well balanced over solid tannic support and balanced freshness. Production is 29,000 bottles.

Lovely purity of fruit with aromas of peaches, plums, ripe cherries and lemons, alongside some spice box and moss. Medium to full body with fine, creamy tannins. Wonderfully juicy and approachable with a supple and seamless finish.

Danielle Callegari - Wine Enthusiast

Meaty, sanguine aromas jump off the nose, backed up by sweeter notes of strawberries, cherries and cranberries and a last hint of fennel. More strawberries, cherries and orange zest on the palate with the sanguinity present now as the metallic tang of pennies and brick dust make for a very fresh, lively expression.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

A riot of red berry fruit nuances on the nose - baked and fresh, wonderfully aromatic. Bright and forward, this has a nice texture - smooth and sleek, lithe and sapid with a good juicy core of red berries, sour cherries and spicy tomato edges. Tannins give the frame and the slight grip and this has excellent fresh acidity. It's well worked, soft and light just losing some propulsion and density towards the finish but plenty to enjoy here.
