Falstaff 93 Punkte
Glänzendes, sattes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Sehr duftige und kompakte Nase, satt nach dunklen Kirschen, etwas Brombeere, blitzsauber. Zeigt am Gaumen schönes Spiel, viel Frucht, Kirschen und Granatapfel, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem, dichtem Tannin, baut sich lange auf, salzig.

"Lustrous mid ruby. Rich but still a little reductive. The palate is in the grip of this, too, for the moment, but underneath there is truly compact, rich, tangy cherry with lots of demanding tannins and a wonderful, subtle oak note." Jancis Robinson

"Aromas of ripe fruit such as sweet strawberries and hints of orange peel and chocolate. Medium to full body, soft and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Riper style." James Suckling

"Giancarlo Pacenti knows his land well and is a skillful farmer, especially with regards to navigating a challenging vintage like this. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne boasts a beautifully saturated ruby color that appears healthy and bright. The aromas are presented with precision and balance. A wine like this offers irrefutable evidence that old vines are the best remedy in a hot and dry vintage. The wine's various elements are intact and focused. Dark cherry, candied plum, exotic spice, tar and licorice form a united front." Robert Parker

"This is full of cherry and plum flavors, accented by leather, tobacco and iron notes. Solidly structured and taut, balanced and long, with a dense mix of fruit, mineral, spice and tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Giancarlo Pacenti’s selection of old vines uses age and experience to add a velvety wrap around firm, crunchy, beautifully focussed tannins. This is a crowd-pleaser with brains." Decanter
