Wine Spectator 92 Points
“Black cherry, black currant and plum flavors are shaded by leather and tobacco notes in this opulent red. Well-integrated and long, fading gracefully, with accents of iron, leather and earth. Best from 2018 through 2030.”

“Mature black plum, roasted coffee bean, sunbaked earth and vanilla aromas emerge in the glass. The structured concentrated palate offers dried cherry, raspberry jam, espresso and clove alongside fine-grained tannins. A touch of cinnamon closes the finish. Enjoy 2018–2024.”

“The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento sees fruit sourced from a vineyard of that same name that was planted in 1998. The castle that dominates the Castiglion del Bosco property was once an military fortress built to defend Montalcino against its rowdy neighbors in Siena and Florence. This wine is aged in large oak casks for three years. Only 6,000 bottles are made. The bouquet offers enticing tones of spice and dark fruit with rustic garden herb and wild mushroom thrown into the mix. The mouthfeel is extremely polished and fine. This is a very elegant wine that drinks beautifully right now.”

“A ripe and succulent red with chocolate and dried berry character. Medium to full body, soft tannins and a tangy finish. Delicious now.”
