(Wine Advocate Score 95) The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva hails from a classic vintage and reveals a carefully measured and complex set of aromas that grows and changes with fluidity the longer the wine stays in the glass. At its core, you get black fruit and plum with some spice, tar and licorice that comes thanks to the extra years this wine has aged in bottle. The intensity of the primary fruit has dimmed, but the wine is very much in play because it so accurately portrays Sangiovese during its long aging process. With this wine, you catch a pretty moment in time.
