Score 91/100 · Drink 2017-2027, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, May 2017
The La Colombina 2012 Brunello di Montalcino opens to tart berry notes with dried cherry and blackberry at the front. The wine delivers thick texture and smooth consistency that is in line with the attributes of this warm vintage. Spice, leather and tobacco appear on the finish. This Brunello is aged in large oak casks (with both French and Slavonian wood) for up to 40 months.

Tasted blind. Mature-looking ruby with narrow, orange rim. Grubby, reductive nose that is a little singed. Quite sweet and one-dimensional and equipped with lots of concentrated fruit. Prolonged hangtime? Late harvest? No real complexity. (WS)
