Talenti Brunello di Montalcino 2013

94+ points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino offers a soft and fruity interpretation of this slightly cooler vintage. The bouquet is lively and bright with loads of primary fruit at its core. That fruit (and the balanced acidity) will surely be the motor to drive this wine forward during the course of its future evolution. There is a point of sourness with well managed tannins. The finish offers flavors of dried cherry, moist earth and tobacco. Drink: 2020-2035. (Feb 2018)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "[$55 list] Whiffs of ripe cherry, licorice and truffle signal this elegant and enticing red. Light-weight yet intense, with fine balance and the structure for aging. Wild herb and mineral notes round out the flavor spectrum. Best from 2021 through 2035. 650 cases imported. (8/29/18)"

92 points James Suckling: "A fresh and clean Brunello with dark berry and lemon character. Medium body, firm tannins and a crisp finish. Needs a year or two to soften. Drink in 2020. (11/27/17)"

91 points Ian D'Agata (Vinous): "Dark red. Musky aromas of red berries, smoky spices, violet and cola. Fresh and fruity, in a forward, silky, floral style, featuring fresh red berry and potpourri flavors. The rising finish echoes the sweet spice notes and offers delightful cut and clarity. Drink: 2024-2031. (Apr 2018)"

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Intriguing aromas of garrigue, forest floor, new leather and wild berry are front and center. The focused, medium-bodied palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, orange rind and star anise framed in fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. This won't take years to come around but will still provide good midterm aging potential. Drink 2019-2025. Alcohol 14%. (May 2018)"
