The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino may be immortal. It's impossibly fresh and pure yet powerful and complex. Wild strawberries, rhubarb, exotic spice and crushed blood orange form its seductive bouquet, along with the slightest hint of dusty earth. It balances ripe cherry-berry fruits with sweet spice and inner rose, all elevated by an enticing core of juicy acidity. This finishes remarkably fresh and structured, yet the tannins are round and soft, leaving behind an air of licorice as the mouth waters for more. This is a total pleasure to taste and easily one of the most successful 2004s at this stage.Inc. TAX€4,017.07 -

The nose has black raspberries, grenadine, violets, and warm spice.

The 2006 Harlequin is one of the most exciting, viscerally thrilling wines I have tasted in a while. Sweet aromas of roasted espresso beans lead to wild cherries, mint, licorice, blackberry jam and star anise as this opulent, full-throttle wine shows off its inimitable class and pedigree. Today the oak remains a touch intrusive, particularly in the tannins, but there appears to be more than enough density in the fruit to provide balance. The finish is eternal. This is a profound effort from Celestino Gaspari and his team. Harlequin is made from as many as fifteen different varieties. The grapes go through a brief drying process prior to being vinified. The wine is then racked into French oak, where it spends two full years with no subsequent rackings. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.Inc. TAX€5,104.54 -

This is black as pitch in the glass and, yes, there’s a light, tarry edge to the super-concentrated prune, date and currant fruit. But even more interesting are the complex notes of bitter-orange liqueur, aged balsamic, fresh roasting herbs, cinnamon, roasted chestnuts, black tea and licorice. The more you decant in advance, the more nuances will emerge. It’s full-boded with huge concentration and lots of chewy tannin that is managing to hold the fruit back for now. This needs plenty of time to develop in the bottle. Just superb. One of the greatest Dal Forno’s ever.Inc. TAX€2,163.02 -

Deep ruby-colored with a light purple tinge, the 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Madonna Del Piano takes on another gear with its rich perfume unfolding with lavender, black cherry, cassis, fresh leather, licorice, fresh soil, and sage. The wine is full-bodied, with a ripe velveteen texture, while maintaining freshness, and it is elegantly rounded through the mid-palate, with notes of black plum, Earl Grey, scorched earth, and tea leaf. This seems to be moving at a glacial pace in its evolution and certainly warrants at least a few more years in cellar.Inc. TAX€2,177.51 -
