Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2010

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with plenty blue and black fruit, grilled herbs, graphite, spices and mocha, The wine reveals lovely up-front richness but then loses some of its depth on the mid-palate, revealing tannins that are a touch dry. Tobacco, herbs and licorice linger on the finish. This is a decidedly muscular, fruit-driven style of Brunello from the Frescobaldi family. A few more years of bottle age should help the wine come together even more.
