Score 96/100 · Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 2017

Le Potazzine Gorelli makes very distinctive expressions of Brunello that reflect a sort of secret truth about the Sangiovese grape. The effect is not completely polished, nor is it boring or predictable. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino reaches for a degree of extreme authenticity and originality that is not commonly found in the appellation. This is low-profile wine with a big personality that proves to be very generous to those who make the time to know it. The bouquet reveals will berry, red rose, spice, earth and wild mushrooms. There is a touch of rusticity as well. In the mouth, this Brunello shows mild tannins and smooth integration. Like a friend you can count on, this is a best-buddy Brunello.

Dark red with a pale rim. Balsamic nuances complement slightly austere aromas and flavors of red cherry, camphor and spicy licorice. The finish is long and juicy, leaving behind echoes of minerals and flowers. This calls for seven to eight years of patience but it’s a very promising, refined 2012 Brunello.

Aromas of cherries, strawberries and hints of flower petals. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a delicate finish. Citrus-rind undertone. A little lean. Drink or hold. Nov 2016, www.jamessuckling.com
