  Wine Spectator
  Ripe, sweet cherry and strawberry flavors are offset with savory elements of mushroom, woodsy underbrush and leather. This intense red is well integrated and supple in texture, with a terrific, succulent aftertaste. Drink now through 2040. 4,100 cases made, 1,500 cases imported."

  Expressive, crunchy dark fruit, such as black cherry and blue plum, as well as violets and peppery undertones. Medium-bodied, creamy palate with a wonderful backbone of acidity. Subtly toasty finish. Complex, yet well rounded and balanced. Better after 2027."

  The nose is saline and savory, but evolving, with saltwater and crushed shells first, then tar and tobacco, then black cherries. The palate is laden with mixed cherries and berries and juicy with citrus, at least until powerful tannins flex their way through bitter herbs on the finish."

  Glänzendes, sattes Rubingranat. Einladende, dezente Nase nach roten Johannisbeeren, eingemachten Preiselbeeren, dahinter etwas süßer Tabak und Leder. Saftiger Gaumen mit gutem Tanningerüst, spannt verhalten auf, mittlerer Gaumendruck, retronasal Siegellack, mittlerer Abgang, braucht noch Zeit."

  To the northwest of the town of Montalcino, Pertimali’s 12 hectares extend over a single block, surrounding the Montosoli hill. Despite a relatively cool microclimate, the limestone-rich clay and estate’s old clones yield a vigorous, muscular Brunello. Picked at the beginning of October, the intensely savoury 2019 wafts with iron, sage and bay leaf. The ripe brawny palate is packed with dry, assertive tannins backed up by sweet black cherry and spiced currants. Acidity is brisk. A rustic rather than elegant offering. Ageing is in Slavonian oak casks of 30 hectolitres."

  Deep, dark ruby with orange tinges. Rich cherry and dark fruit on the nose with hints of spicy, savoury oak. Rich, sweet fruit on the palate with tangy acidity and with firm, grainy tannins. The richness comes at the cost of expression of origin, but I am sure this will find friends. Ready now."
