BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017
"The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows some ripe, hot-vintage fruit with baked cherry and strawberry confit. There is a softness to the wine, which is enhanced by bigger fruit weight and fiber and more of those dark fruit characteristics. Sangiovese always counters with fresch acidity, and this element helps to balance out this wine on the mid-weight finish."

''The Tenuta di Sesta 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Duelecci Ovest is only made in the best years. The wine represents a special selection of fruit thatc an either come from hte ''Ovest'' (west) or ''Est'' (east) side of the Duelecci site, depending on the weather. The soil are very rocky on the east side, making that parcel better in the cool vintages. They are thinner on the west side, and the grapes here perform better in the warm vintages. There's a little doubt, I think, that the sunny 2015 vintage would draw its fruit from the sunset die. This is an immediately attractive and generous expression that doles out dark fruit followed by soice, earth, candiedn orange and wilted blue flower. to the aplate, it delivers a broad and powerful performance, although you don't get same etched or super focused characteristics that we saw in 2016. That slightly softer approach makes this a great choice for your favorite steak dinner. A mere 4.000 bottles were made.''

90 POINTS- BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DCG 2011: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino shows aromas of candied fruit and cassis that are tight and precious. This wine does not share the wide and expansive personality of many of the other Brunellos produced in this warm vintage. Instead, this expression is more introspective and timid. Those delicate berry notes are followed by cola, balsam herb and licorice root. The wine is streamlined and simple and this comes as a pleasant surprise given the much meatier and heftier characteristics of its peers.
