Ruby red with violet hues. The intense and complex aromas lead back to small red ripe fruits and plum jam followed by toasted and vanilla notes.
Excellent structure, full bodied and balanced. The enveloping tannic structure leades to a fruity pleasant, lasting aftertaste.
Critic Ratings
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 94:
This tightly packed version is resonant and persistent, with fine integration of all its components, despite being compact and austere today, revealing cherry, raspberry, rose, earth and mineral flavors. Give this the benefit of the doubt. Best from 2026 through 2042.
James Suckling Review - Rated 93:
Pure and refined wine with lively raspberries, red cherries, rose hips and a touch of citrus blossom. Medium- to full-bodied with firm yet silky tannins. Excellent acidity backbone.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 94:
The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a magenta/ruby color and is highly expressive with aromas of mixed berries, herbes de Provence, sweet tobacco, and candied violets. This full-bodied Brunello is flush with sweet tannins, a richly textured mid-palate, and an impressive finish. It retains very nice purity and has the potential to age over the next 15-20 years.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94:
The certified organic Col d'Orcia 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows ripe fruit, blackberry, earthy notes, licorice and, generally speaking, a much bigger and riper fruit profile compared to its peers. It offers full-bodied Brunello opulence to enjoy over the near or medium term, and the wine delivers dried fruit flavors of prune and fig to close. The tannins are velvety and add to the richness of the rather upfront and immediate mouthfeel.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 95:
A benchmark Brunello from the dark cherry, vanilla, hazelnut, orange peel and sage on the nose to the cherries and strawberries made lively with citrus and flinty earth on the palate, before an indulgent salted hazelnut finish. Tannins persuade rather than insist. Rigorously itself and marvelously convivial.
