“Just re-released, this supremely elegant complex red is a testament to Brunello's remarkable aging potential. It opens with aromas evoking sunbaked earth, underbrush, new leather and mature berry that mingle with whiffs of flint and tar. The silky palate is chock–full of flavor and finesse, boasting mature black cherry, raspberry compote, tobacco and black tea framed in polished tannins and still tangy acidity. Drink through 2035”

“The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens to a dark garnet appearance and shows more visible concentration compared to the other library selection vintages presented at this tasting. The bouquet is broad and far reaching in character with dried blackberry and plum followed by savory tobacco and spice. This vintage is fleshy, rich and powerful. It offers balanced tertiary aromas, but they are not the protagonist, and that sense of impeccable balance serves as a measure of how well this wine has held up over time.”
