Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2009

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is the finest wine I have tasted from Vasco Sassetti. This is a powerful style of Brunello imbued with superb depth in its earthiness, game, wild cherries and herbs. The wine possesses gorgeous length and big, yet well-balanced tannins that round out the fresh finish. The slightly rustic elements this wine typically shows have largely been tamed in 2004. Readers will find much to admire in this sturdy, firm Brunello.
