"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a light garnet color and an elegant appearance. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry, cherry and red forest fruit. At the back, you get mild spice, cured tobacco and grilled rosemary. The effect is delicate and finessed. Yet the wine offers a long and polished mouthfeel with integrated tannins and acidity. These help to build power and length on the close." Robert Parker

"The deep, rich red-plum nose sucks you into this powerful Brunello that has great fruit and polished, dry tannins that are beautifully in synch. Long, intense and rather complex finish. A great food wine for tonight, but this has the structure to hold for up to a decade." James Suckling

"Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Compact nose. Supple cherry fruit with plenty of acidity and stalky tannins. Youthful." Jancis Robinson

"Col d'Orcia has been farming its entire 520 hectares following organic practices since 2010, and 2013 marks the first year of organic certification for the wine. Significantly, the estate is the third largest producer in the region, producing 250,000 bottles of Brunello each year. Initially austere, the nose opens up to reveal red berries, pepper and violets. The palate offers similar restraint, with touches of leather and a minerality that builds on the finish. The resolute structure will carry it for at least a decade." Decanter

"Bright red. Pomegranate and sour red cherry on the fresh, precise nose. Lively but dense in the mouth; peppery red cherry flavors are complicated by tobacco and underbrush nuances. Finishes long, with youthfully chewy tannins and a repeating spicy nuance. Made from organic grapes." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)
