Col d’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino (Magnum) 2011

Forest floor, rosemary, ripe berry, new leather and a whiff of earth are just some of the aromas in this structured red. The full-bodied, chewy palate flexes muscle and restraint, offering ripe black cherry, licorice, clove and dried aromatic herb while firm, ripe tannins provide the framework. While it won’t need many years to become accessible, it also has some staying power. Drink 2019-2026. Score – 93. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2016)
