There’s fine depth to the aromas and flavors of cherry, pomegranate, wild rosemary, pine and mineral. The flavors shift between fruit, savory and mineral elements as this red builds to the long, detailed aftertaste. Dense, gripping tannins keep this tight and youthful. Best from 2029 through 2047.

Bold and assertive, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Campo Del Drago pours a bright red/garnet hue and leaps from the glass with aromas of cedar, Bing cherries, orange rind, wild herbs, tar, and bright spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has vibrant driving acidity, tensely coiled tannins, and mouthwatering saltiness through a persistent and savory finish. Drink 2026-2040.

A medium red hue, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino boasts a good deal of lifted spice intensity on the nose, with aromas of clove, blood orange, redcurrants, cranberries, spice, iron-rich earth, and toasted incense. It offers more vibrancy than I have come to expect from these wines. Medium-bodied and lively with a bright spine of acidity, it has a compact core of fine, angular tannins and a zesty mouthwatering finish. It’s quite a departure from previous wines from this estate, and it has a lot of tension. Drink 2026-2040.

A rich yet tense wine with blueberry, cherry, plum and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a bright finish. A little tight now, but it opens with aeration and shows velvety tannins and a pretty finish. Needs a year or two to open. Try after 2027.

A soft and velvety red with plum, walnut, cedar and bark character, as well as orange-peel undertones. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a soft, silky texture and a delicious finish. This will age beautifully, but why wait? Drink or hold.
