Greppone Mazzi (Ruffino) Brunello di Montalcino 2015

95 points James Suckling: "Ripe plums with some cherries, toffee and cedar on the nose. Changes to flowers. Complex. It’s full-bodied with a deep, rich-fruit and tannin structure with just the right complement of firm tannins and ripe fruit. Very long and serious. Best from here in a very long time. Better after 2023. (6/16/20)"

93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$85 list] A textbook Sangiovese, featuring cherry, strawberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors, with hints of leather and licorice. Brawny yet well-integrated, remaining lively on the long, savory aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2043. (6/30/20)"

92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Ruffino 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Greppone Mazzi is a very pretty wine that will appeal to those who appreciate classic Sangiovese. This wine offers a medium to full-bodied approach that is packed tight with black fruit, spice and lingering notes of camphor ash and licorice. The wine's acidic freshness makes a seamless match to its natural fruitiness and structure. This vintage aptly captures the Tenuta Greppone Mazzi philosophy of softness and concentrated succulence. Drink: 2021-2033. (Jan 2020)"
