This red combines fresh cherry and strawberry fruit with graphite, earth and leather notes for a positive impression. A swath of burly tannins lingers on the finish, needing time to meld with the ripe fruit and rich texture. Best from 2024 through 2043.
The Donatella Cinelli Colombini 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva shows a dense and concentrated personality, owing much to the warm, sunny and delightful conditions of this epic growing season. This wine draws its fruit from a 10-hectare parcel with clay soils and wide-open skies with clouds and sunbeams, which take in most of the landscape to the north of Montalcino. This is a 9,600-bottle production. Black cherry, blackberry confit, spice and warm earth make up the bouquet. Plush and slightly sweet fruit flavors color the softly textured mouthfeel. This Riserva shows a bit of extra vintage ripeness, rendering a more accessible, medium-term drinking window.
A red with plum, spice, chocolate and cherry, as well as orange peel. Full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a juicy, flavorful finish. Really fine with a refined finish. Super balance and beauty here. Drink or hold.
Menthol, crushed berry and violet aromas slowly develop along with whiffs of ground clove. The poised, medium-bodied palate is already accessible, offering juicy Marasca cherry and coffee bean alongside polished tannins. Drink 2022–2027.
