Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli 2004

Lobenberg: Dunkle Farbe, süße, saftige, rotbeerige Nase mit Gewürznoten, am Gaumen superrund und offen, mit weichen Tanninen und schönem Abgang. Subtiler Druck im Stil eines Chambertin, ungemein saftig und samtig, noch schlummernde große Kraft. Macht einfach Spaß! 94-95/100

Robert Parker: This vintage produced beautiful, rich and exuberant wines across the board and is remembered as one of the best in modern Montalcino history. The Altesino 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is drinking beautifully right now thanks to its silky mouthful and elegant flavors of dried berry, earth and toasted spice. There's a point of acidity and a lingering mineral note, which are the characteristic signatures of the Montosoli vineyard and its unique shale soils. 95/100

Wine Spectator: Shows meat and blackberry on the nose, with hints of rose perfume. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, rich and flavorful finish. Love the cocoa, berry and light vanilla bean aftertaste. This is always classic in an outstanding year. 95/100

James Suckling: This is so wonderful and drinkable now with a mineral and ripe plum character. It's full and balanced with super integrated tannins and has come together gorgeously. Drink or hold. 95/100
