89/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2006 • "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is an attractive, fleshy wine with good richness and texture in its red fruit. This supple Brunello will offer its finest drinking over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016". --AG
|
87/100 » ROSSO DI MONTALCINO 2009 • "The 2009 Rosso di Montalcino from Poggio Nardone presents dark fruit, spices, mocha and leather in a burly-four square expression of Sangiovese. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015". --AG

94/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA 2004 • "Here’s a beautiful Brunello Riserva that comes at
you in full force thanks to its compelling aromas of spice, cherry, currants, mesquite wood and
cola. There’s an immediate and direct manner to
the aromatic approach, but it’s layered and complex
at the same time. M.L." |
91/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2005 • "Vintner Tiziano
Ciacci delivers a beautifully extracted wine with
rich ruby highlights backed by mature aromas of
blackberry, dried currants, clove and cardamom.
The wine is smooth and rich in the mouth with
tight tannins and bright berry freshness. M.L." |
91/100 » ROSSO DI MONTALCINO 2008 • "This is a truly outstanding
Rosso di Montalcino that shows all the
ripe and opulent characteristics of the promising
2008 vintage. The wine is rich, smooth and determined.
The tannins are polished and silky. M.L." BEST ROSSO DI MONTALCINO |

89/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2005 • "Offers sweet, ripe berry notes, with blackberry and black licorice. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Peppery. There's pretty intensity for the vintage. Best after 2011.” - JS
|
* 87/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA 2004 • "Delivers dried porcini, dark fruits and citrus notes. This is full-bodied and very woody, with bitter tannins and vanilla bean. Slightly overextracted and overwooded. Turns dry and mouthpuckering. Too much new wood. We will see. Best after 2011.” - JS

87/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2005 • "Poggio Nardone’s 2005 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with a big, meaty expression of wild cherries, earthiness, smoke, licorice and tobacco. This is an especially rich, bold Brunello packed with fruit, but elements of overripeness and oxidation detract from the overall balance. Still, the raw materials here seem promising. I have a hard time thinking Poggio Nardone couldn’t make a better wine with more attention to farming, winemaking and elevage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017". --AG
|
87/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA 2004 • "The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is similarly over-ripe in its stewed fruit and spices, while the oak is totally overdone. Despite an initial burst of fruit, the wine falls short on the mid-palate. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018". --AG

89/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2004 • "Aromas of dried flowers, dried mushrooms and ripe fruit follow through to a full body, with tangy fruit and a spicy undertone. A little tight and hard now. Give it a little bottle age. Best after 2010. 700 cases made.” - JS
|
84/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO RISERVA 2003 • "This has stewed fruit on the nose, then jam. Full-bodied, with soft, round tannins and loads of jammy licorice flavors. A bit heavy and ponderous¿and a little dull. Drink now.” - JS
|
* 84/100 » ROSSO DI MONTALCINO 2007 • "A simple red, but some good berry notes and a hint of chocolate keep the interest up. Drink now.” - JS
|
81/100 » IL CROGNOLO 2007 • "Earthy Sangiovese, with berry and meat aromas and flavors, medium body and a simple finish. Drink now.” - JS

| 89/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2003 • Dark and vivid, with aromas of dried cherry, blackberry and milk chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean finish. The palate is slightly one-dimensional. Best after 2008. -JS |

| 95/100 » BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2001 • Editor's Choice: "A liquid lullaby more than a wine, this Brunello caresses and smoothes over your senses with amazing intensity and harmonious aromas of cherry-chocolate fudge, almond paste, ginger, balsamic notes, blueberry pie, firewood and vanilla. There's a shroud of cedar and cherry fruit within the wine's unwavering structure and a seemingly endless finish."-ML |

» RIVUS 2005 • "Oodles of aromas here - smoke, spice, dried and crushed red berries - and they follow through to the flavours. Almost perfectly balanced, look for a medium body, a warm (14% alcohol) and plush mouth feel, good structure and a lengthy finish. That finish adds a dollop of sour cherry and black currant making it zingy and delicious. This is truly a Tuscan treasure."
