In a heavy glass bottle, the Castiglion del Bosco 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento 1100 is a bold, determined and richly concentrated expression, as you might expect judging a book by its cover. I always find that the 2019 vintage delivers heavier fruit weight, and that definitely seems to be the case here. Blackberry fruit is surrounded by sweet tobacco, brandied plum and barbecue pit. If you go bold, go bold with this wine. 20,000 bottles were released.

The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Campo del Drago is dusty and darkly floral. Stone dust and rose petals give way to dried strawberries and a beguiling hint of black olives. This is ethereal, lifted and graceful, hovering across the palate as mineral-infused red fruits and perfumed inner florals swirl throughout. The 2020 clamps down hard through the tannic and long finish, yet it maintains a balanced primary concentration. Bury this sleeping giant in the cellar.

Darkly alluring, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino emerges with an earthy blend of crushed blackberries, grilled herbs and smoky, ashen stones. This displays textures of pure silk and a core of ripe wild berries complicated by flinty mineral tones, rosemary and hints of blood orange, all guided by brilliant acidity. The 2020 finishes with dramatic length and classical structure, leaving a spicy sensation and lingering nuances of red plum. Castiglion del Bosco has captured a remarkable depth and concentration here that's atypical of the vintage.

Black tea mixes with wilted violets, blood orange and dried strawberries as the layered and complex 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento blossoms in the glass. This is a model of elegance, silken and seamless yet lifted and spry. Mineral-drenched red berry fruits and hints of citrus swirl beneath an air of violet inner florals. The finish is spicy and long with sweet tannins and a sensation of liquid stone. Echoes of lavender slowly fade.

Fruit-forward with a combination of blue fruit and red-fruit jam that follows through to a medium body with medium, round tannins and a fruity finish. Polished. Drink or hold.
