Fra køligere vinmarker i den nordvestlige del af Montalcino blev denne Brunello modnet i tre år i de bedste, store 20-hektoliter træfade og til dels også i 500-liters tonneaux. I næsen er den præget af elegance og kraft på samme tid. Violer, lavendel og potpourri flyder ud af glasset sammen med modne kirsebær. Et strejf af kanel, vanilje og grøn tobak sammen med cedertræ og grafit. I munden slår dens monumentale tannin til! Opbygget næsten som en lineær ramme, er den ikke desto mindre moden og passer til vinen som fod i hose. Mørke bær, blomme, tjære, læder sammen med let røgede noter og grafit. Denne vin er helt fantastisk, men den har brug for tålmodighed. Glem den i kælderen i et par år, og den vil belønne dig med endnu større kompleksitet. 97-99/100

Galloni om: Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva lifts up with elegance and richness, as sweet lavender and violets give way to a more savory display of black cherries, Tuscan dust and cedar box with hints of cooling mint. This rushes the palate with sweet red fruits and spices, silky yet lifted, and displaying a delicacy not expected from the Riserva category, yet quite welcome. Beneath is a core of power and density just waiting to unfold. Minerality comes through in the finale, mingling with a fine coating of tannin and hints of spicy citrus. This harmonious Brunello will have a very long life. The Riserva is a selection of two Brunello barrels, one tonneau and one large cask, from Romitorio’s cellar. Simply stunning. 97/100

Decanter om: Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Castello Romitorio harvests in two stages. The first is an early selection of the smallest, loosest bunches across the oldest vineyards and fills one single tank. In years when the estate Brunello can stand alone, this is bottled separately as a Riserva. The tenth since 1987, the 2016 is wondrously earthy in its overture of clay, mineral rock and iron. It evolves into an autumnal smokiness then lands on balsamic herbs and crunchy red woodland berries. Youthful vigour and verve do not conceal intrinsic finesse. Acid crunch and dramatic mouth-caressing tannins will see this through the long haul. 96/100

Parker om: Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with 6,300 bottles made) works beautifully to produce a lasting sense of harmony that reflects the best qualities of this classic vintage. Part of that playlist is power, and indeed this wine registers 15% alcohol, which is high, but the freshness of these vineyard sites and the wine's acidity does a good job of mitigating that power. The fruit is polished and refined in this Riserva, and there is a pretty mix of both primary and even some distant tertiary character to shape a bouquet that is pure but also complex. 96/100
