From Brunello di Montalcino

Vintage:	2015
Description:	100 JS / 98 Wa / 98 Fs / 97 De / 96 Ko / 96 Ws / 95 Vm. This has a crazy nose of white truffles, wild berries, cherry blossoms, porcini mushrooms, earth, white pepper, sage, blueberries, cocoa and seashells. Full-bodied with such elegance and subtle power. Layered. Very fine, seamless tannins. Keeps going. Try after a year or two. -James Suckling. Fuligni gives us a truly special expression from this sunny and warm vintage. What I notice first in the 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is the elegance of the aromas and those dusty, almost salty mineral notes of crushed limestone that frame the delicate fruit packed tight within. There are other distinctive aromas here, such as balsam herb, dried mint and powdered licorice root that add more layers to the bouquet. That layering continues to the palate where the wine excels on all fronts-balanced concentration, structure and freshness. This is a unique creation and a very precious wine. It is one of the stand outs of the year.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate. Rich ruby, slightly light rim. Compact nose with notes of blackberry, dark forest raspberry and lots of cloves. On the palate full-bodied and compact, presents itself with densely meshed tannin, pithy, in between again and again fine texture, dark fruit, on the finish very weighty.-Peter Moser, Falstaff
