Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino 2017

94 points Wine & Spirits Magazine

93 points Robert Parker
This is the so-called "green label" Brunello with proprietor Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini's signature on the front of the bottle. Her classic 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is sharp and tonic with wild raspberry, cassis, lilac, earth and garden herb. There is a sweet note of sour cherry on the mid-weight finish. This is an ample 160,000-bottle production made in a traditional approach with two years in casks made with both Slavonian and French oak.

92 points Wine Critics
Loaded in the sensory profile showing notes of black prunes, wild blackberries, bergamot and quinine. Medium to full bodied, light tannins and a warm finale of medium depth.

91 points Falstaff
Bright ruby red. Ripe wild strawberries, ripe cherries, butter cookies and some caramel on the nose. Polished and finely creamy on the palate, with pronounced ripe berry notes and a finish with drive and slight dryness, on mint.

91 points Wine Enthusiast
Pretty aromas of blue flowers and wild berries mix with new leather and botanical herbs. On the linear, already approachable palate, fine-grained, polished tannins accompany juicy Morello cherry, star anise, crushed mint and mocha.
