Score 92/100 · Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2016

The La Fortuna 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a balanced and forthcoming wine that offers a bright core of berry fruit that is evenly offset by spicy notes of allspice and cardamom seed. The wine boasts a great sense of balance throughout with savory tones of tobacco and cured meat that underline its recent aging evolution. This Riserva should promise a solid ten-year drinking window.

Score 17/20 · Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2016

Tasted blind. Deep ruby with orange rim. Minerally cherry nose with iron and hints of tobacco leaf. Youthful austerity and far from open. Elegant of touch. Cherry fruit lifted by acidity and lots of chewy tannins. Lots of potential, but not ready by far. (WS)

Score 97/100 · James Suckling

Fascinating aromas of dried flowers, sandalwood, cedar and plums. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. Gloriously complex and savory. Dusty texture. Just makes you want to drink it. Oct 2015, JamesSuckling.com
