Sumptuous Brunello Riserva with a bouquet of sweet black cherries, incense, liquorice and tobacco. The 2011 vintage brings incredible depth, immense full-bodied flavour and a great personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"This hot, dry year has created a Riserva that is a pleasure to drink unusually early by Biondi Sandi standards. Restrained but very noble aromas of preserved red berries, with a hint of coffee beans, leaves and dried herbs. Densely woven on the palate, with fine-grained tannins and a beautiful melting texture." Vinum

"Brilliant, rich ruby colour with a slight garnet rim. Compact, multi-layered nose with notes of raspberries, preserved cherries and a hint of saffron. Fine-meshed tannins on the palate, unfolds with great elegance, fine cherry fruit, lingers for a very long time, savoury." Falstaff

"Medium ruby red with orange-coloured reflections. Deep, but closed nose that hints at maturity. Beautiful, crumbly, mineral cherry fruit with lots of powdery tannins. Very long, fine and tannic for now, but a little more approachable than the normal BS 2011 Brunello, as far as I remember." Jancis Robinson

"Dark red in colour. Musky nuances give way to brighter aromas of red fruits, liquorice and herbs. Rich and dense, with red cherry and mineral flavours enhanced by hints of orange peel and bergamot, and a notable but harmonious acidity. The finish is long, with youthful, crisp tannins and a hint of violets. This strikes me as a slightly easier-drinking version of Biondi-Santi's Brunello Riserva, but as always, it improves greatly with aeration, so decant it at least six hours in advance for maximum enjoyment." Ian d’Agata Vinous

"This beautifully balanced wine opens with enticing aromas of wild berries, roses, baking spices and a hint of chopped herbs. The bright, elegantly structured palate offers juicy wild cherries, crushed raspberries, white pepper and a hint of black tea, framed by polished tannins and fresh acidity, seamlessly blending ripe fruit with the company's signature finesse. It's already seductive, but the best is yet to come." (Cellar Selection) Wine Enthusiast
