"Good deep red. Flamboyantly lively aromas of maraschino cherry, minerals, licorice, flowers and building Christmas spices. Round, sweet and pliant; a sexy, rather modern-style fruit bomb, with rich, sappy flavors of cherry, raspberry and spices. Finishes with dusty tannins and impressive energy." -Stephen Tanzer

"The single-vineyard 2004 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa is a sweet, layered offering that blossoms on the palate with notable elegance and class. The wine continues to build, showing terrific volume and density as its dark fruit accompanies the tannins all the way to the finish. This is an intense, brooding Brunello in need of bottle age, but its qualities are impossible not to admire even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024." -Antonio Galloni

"Another Montosoli Brunello, this time from Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, owner here since 1998. It's made in a style that showcases clear, well styled red fruit whose immediacy is deceptive, as this wine can age gracefully in the medium to long term." -Michael Broadbent

"Rich and dense, with black cherry, blackberry, licorice and tar aromas and flavors. Dense and muscular, this red is still very fresh and long, with a tangy, savory finish."

"This special selezione Brunello delivers big ripe fruit flavors-almost too ripe-of blueberry, strawberry and red currants. The wine has power and heft with more flavors of spice, leather, tobacco and gritty tannins." -Monica Larner
