Blueberry and lemon rind aromas, with hints of raspberries. Full and fresh, with fine tannins and a long finish. A balanced and pretty wine. Drink now. Dec 2010, www.jamessuckling.com

The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is just beginning to enter its early tertiary stage. Crushed flowers, tobacco, game, worn-in leather and dark spices add lovely layers of nuance to a core of dark red stone fruits. At ten years of age, the 2005 has retained a lovely sense of freshness. It remains a lithe, mid-weight Brunello with enough depth to drink well for another decade or so. Oct 2016, www.vinous.com, Drink: 2015-2022
