Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2031, Eric Guido, Vinous, Dec 2023
Dark and brooding, the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gemini smolders up with rich plum sauce, grilled herbs and mint nuances. This is surprisingly energetic and built on purity, with a rush of tart wild berry fruits and saline minerals elevated by vibrant acidity. Edgy tannins assault the palate, making for a structured finale, yet the 2017 maintains its vibrancy well. Licorice and lavender notes soothe the senses on the finish. The Riserva Gemini maintains a beautiful balance despite the vintage conditions.
