2014	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino	Medium red. Pungently floral aromas of violet, redcurrant, raspberry, truffle and smoky earth. Rich, chewy and deep on entry, with enticing sweetness to the red fruit and spice flavors, then turns lighter and more dilute in the middle and on the finish. Closes with repeating saline nuances and noteworthy length. A lovely easygoing Brunello offering early appeal and easy accessibility.	Vinous	90		2019-03-27
2014	Elia Palazzesi	Collelceto Brunello di Montalcino	Luminous red-ruby. The perfumed, rich nose emphasizes ripe red cherry, dark plum, dried herbs and orange peel.

This Brunello remains light and lively despite its upfront round fleshiness thanks to high acidity and extract, showcasing outstanding balance. Closes long, refreshing and suave.	Vinous	92		2019-03-26
