Score 94/100 · Drink 2017-2027, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Mar 2017
Compared to Tassi's annata wine, the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Franci shows more precision and definition. The intensity of those dark fruit aromas is about the same with plum, black cherry and cassis, but the contours here are sharper and show a greater degree of focus and brilliance. You also notice the oak aging more in this Brunello thanks to savory notes of smoke, allspice and cured leather.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby with bright orange tinges. Zesty, tight nose and mouth-filling fruit with gripping tannins on the finish and a hint of fruit cake. Straightforward and a little underwhelming. (WS)
