Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 Red Wine

Lisini Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 

Tuscany, Italy

94 pts. Wine Spectator:

"Rich and deep, with base notes of plum and loamy earth offsetting cherry, hibiscus and eucalyptus flavors. Dense, with muscular tannins and lively acidity lending support. The long aftertaste evokes earth and Mediterranean brush. Best from 2026 through 2045. 3,300 cases made, 900 cases imported." - Bruce Sanderson

93 pts. Wine Advocate:

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of medium-soft volume and intensity with dark fruit, ripe cherry, black plum, spice and sweet potting soil. That theme of sweetness continues to the plush, lightly textured palate. The wine is ready to drink in the near or medium term; the tannins are round and ready, and it concludes with bright acidity. This is a release of 40,000 bottles." 03-09-2023
