PRE-ARRIVAL - August 12th ETA
99 Points, Cree Wine - "One of the earliest Brunello producers, dating from back when there were only 20 or so producers, has offered us a small allocation of their stunning 2019 Brunello. Deep, dark, layered and complex, it is just now beginning to show its true potential. Drink this now with decanting, or cellar and enjoy for a decade or more!" Chris Cree, Master of Wine.
95 Points Wine Spectator - "The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino isremarkablypretty, wafting up with a blend of violets and lavender before giving way to steeped plum lifted by mint. This is racy and sleek, with cooling acidity and mineral tones that excite the palate. Juicy acidity

enlivens tart wild berry fruits. The 2019 finds its center through the finish, as fine tannins emerge and a crunchy sensation lingers. Licorice and bitter blackberry notes taper off slowly. In a word, fantastic. The balance of complexity, structure and energy places the 2019 very high in my book."
96 Points, Wine Spectator - "This red is all about finesse, delivering superb balance and complexity, with cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. Succulent and charming, yet with a solid base of tannins and vivid acidity, this remains focused through the long aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042."
