Untitled
"There's an initial jammy mélange of fruit and fresh herbs on the nose. Full-bodied, with tangy fruit and spice, but a bit short. Best after 2008. 13,500 cases made. –JS" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is a big, full-bodied wine loaded with dense ripe fruit, spice and scorched earth nuances. It shows outstanding depth on the palate, where the intensity of fruit provides a nice foil to the firmer tannins of the vintage. This attractive Brunello looks to be an excellent candidate for near-term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015. In addition to making wines at his estate Col d’Orcia proprietor Count Francesco Marone Cinzano is also the newly appointed President of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino. Cinzano cuts a dashing figure and his diplomatic, aristocratic background seems to be a perfect fit for leading the producers’ consortium through the challenges it faces today." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Smoke and wood-driven aromas of vanilla, allspice and ground ginger follow fresh tones of lush cherries and blueberries. The wine is silky and smooth and boasts a soft and pleasant quality of tannins. - M.L. (5/1/2009)" -Rated 87, Wine Enthusiast
Untitled
"Medium red. Aromas of plum, mocha, tobacco and underbrush, with a floral element emerging with aeration. Suave and silky, conveying a light touch. Sappy and classically dry, with harmonious acidity. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent. Nicely balanced in the context of the vintage." -Rated 90, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
