San Filippo

Herrlicher Brunello di Montalcino mit großzügigem Bouquet von roten Beeren, Kirschen und Gewürzen, die perfekt kontrastieren. Schlank und fest mit ätherischen Anspielungen am Gaumen geht der harmonische Geschmack mit großer Finesse einem anhaltenden Abgang entgegen. (superiore.de)

"Riper style with dried berry character that turns to flowers. Full body, very fruity with tannins that are covered with plum and cherry flavors. A friendly and opulnet red." James Suckling

"Bright red with a pale rim. Pungently floral and spicy notes of cardamom and rose complicate red cherry aromas and flavors. Boasts a steely backbone and a very fresh, piercing personality. The long, very flinty finish showcases an enticing rising quality with aeration." Ian d'Agata

"Sweet plum and cherry flavors course through this round, fleshy red, with supporting roles from earth, spice and tobacco notes. Balanced yet firm enough, with excellent freshness on the long finish." Wine Spectator

Dunkles Rubin mit granatfarbenen Einschlüssen. Schöne dunkle Frucht, dazu Pflaume, Gewürz und Tabak. Le Lucere besitzt eine subtile Eichenwürze und die Kraft und Ausdauer der Sangiovese-Traube. Er präsentiert sich bereits in jungen Jahren als würdiger Vertreter seiner Appellation und wird mit den Jahren noch an Eleganz gewinnen. (superiore.de)

"Aromen von roten Waldfrüchten, Gewürznelken und Leder; klare Textur, die Gerbstoffe geschliffen, in Balance mit der Säure, anhaltend-fruchtig im Abgang, kombiniert Eleganz mit Charakter." Vinum

"A dense, backward red, with plenty of cherry, plum, spice and eucalyptus flavors. A broad swath of tannins and juicy acidity carry the long finish, but patience is required for all the facets to emerge. Shows excellent potential." Wine Spectator

"Wow. This is really fantastic with outstanding depth of fruit and ripe and silky tannins. So much blueberry and cedar character with hints of flowers. Full body, fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Lovely balance to this wine." James Suckling

"This is a terrific wine from San Filippo. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino le Lucére is plush and rich in all the right places. It opens to a generous bouquet with tones of dark fruit and spice that contrast each other nicely. The wine straddles a position between primary aromas (directly from the fruit) and secondary aromas (derived from oak aging). The effect is well balanced and the intensity of the wine feels brighter and more harmonious as a result. The mouthfeel is compact and firm. It wine shows good persistence in terms of finish." Robert Parker

"Subtle and complete aromas of cherry, flowers, and orange peel. Full body, round and velvety tannins. So pretty and refined. Polished. A gorgeous wine." James Suckling

"As much savory as fruity, this offers a fine balance between cherry, leather, spice and carob aromas and flavors. Rich yet lively, leaving a mouthwatering impression on the long, saline aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"Bright red. Perfumed aromas and flavors of pink flowers, sour red cherry and strawberry. Fresh and juicy but also dense and deep, this boasts captivating sugar-acid-tannin balance. Finishes long and perfumed; despite its sneaky concentration and size, it also has a light-on-its-feet quality that is very typical of this wine." Ian d'Agata

Grandioser Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Lucere mit unzähligen, fein geschichteten Aromen wie Rosenblätter, rote Kirschen, Blumen, Kräuter und Gewürze. Es besteht ein schöner Spannungsbogen zwischen primären Aromen der Frucht und sekundären Aromen der Reifung im großen Eichenholz. Elegant, vollmundig und muskulös am Gaumen, beeindruckende Tiefe und seidige Tannine, lang und intensiv. Begeistert heute und mit einer viel versprechenden Zukunft. (superiore.de)

"Wow. This is really fantastic with outstanding depth of fruit and ripe and silky tannins. So much blueberry and cedar character with hints of flowers. Full body, fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Lovely balance to this wine. Better after 2022 but already exciting to taste." James Suckling

"A broad, mouthfilling style, boasting black cherry, plum, leather, chocolate and spice aromas and flavors. A riper style, yet not soft, with more support from dense tannins than acidity. Finishes with a dusty aftertaste of tobacco and graphite." Wine Spectator

"This wine pours from the bottle with deep, dark intensity. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva le Lucére shows thick extraction and deep concentration of dark fruit, cherry marmalade and blackberry preserves. Black prune and dried fig also play supporting roles, with a strong showing by exotic spice and savory tobacco. This is a Big Brunello with two capital Bs. It ages in small oak barrel for 14 months and then does another 16 months of aging in botte grande. It shows thick textural richness in the mouth." Robert Parker
