Brunello aus der Einzellage Vigna del Lago ist ein klassisch-eleganter Wein in Riserva-Qualität. Im Duft Aromen von Kirsche, Schokolade und Gewürzen, die sich weit ausbreiten. Am Gaumen kompakt und fest strukturiert, dichte Frucht, Tannin und Säure in guter Balance, lang und mit guter Zukunftsperspektive. (superiore.de)

"There's a dried fruit and smoke character to this wine with an underlying minerality. Full body, firm tannins and a long flavorful finish. Structured yet very, very fine." James Suckling

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Lago is a very linear and tight red wine with a great sense of focus and direct intensity. The wine is not labeled Riserva, but it is aged for one additional year compared to a Brunello annata. Bright berry and dried fruit aromas are followed by very etched mineral notes with dusty graphite and dried spice. I tasted this wine after the bottle had been opened for a day and those distinctive aromas of crushed granite appeared even more evident. This is a lovely wine that underlines the austere and powerful side of this classic vintage." Robert Parker

Brunello Poggio al Granchio aus gleichnamiger Einzellage duftet nach Süßkirschen, Tabak, Blumen und Kräutern. Vielschichtig und schön texturiert, zeigt dieser 2010er die Essenz des großen Jahres in seiner seidigen, strahlenden Persönlichkeit und mit eindeutigen Riserva-Attributen. (superiore.de)

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Intensive und ansprechende Nase, duftet nach reifen Zwetschken, Himbeeren, dazu feine balsamische Noten, einladend. Am Gaumen intensive Frucht, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, weich und geschmeidig, sehr präzise. sehr langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio is a shapely and powerful wine with a tight approach and a smooth succession of wild berry, spice and cola-like aroma. The wine shows a lot of the balsam herb aromas that are so unique to Sangiovese in the Montalcino appellation. In the mouth, this wine presents tightly-knit tannins that should relax and flesh out with more aging time in the bottle. I would suggest waiting at least three years before popping the cork." Robert Parker

"A firm and tight red with cherry, cedar and light chocolate aromas and flavors. Full and compressed. Dusty tannins. Long and flavorful." James Suckling

"This is austere, with a dense matrix of tannins supporting cherry, tobacco, stone and leather flavors. Stays fresh, featuring a coating of dusty tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Maturing ruby with orange rim. Subdued spice nose. Slumbering concentration. Hints of dried fruit, but really at the beginning of its development. Great balance and tannic tension, but in a reluctant phase, it seems." Jancis Robinson
