"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, which marks the winery's 100th anniversary, mixes masses of dried black cherries with dusty cedar spice box, an air of tobacco, worn leather and mint. It is seamless in feel, with silken depths of ripe red berry fruits as crisp mineral tones and hints of citrus build tension toward the close. Staining, chewy and long, the 2020 reveals its heroic structure as nuances of blood orange create a lovely punctuation under an air of rosy inner florals. Quite backward today, it will pay dividends in the cellar."

"Produced since 1970, Fuligni's Riserva celebrates its 50th anniversary with this 2020 release. While I am not sure it will be the estate's longest-lived edition, it is undeniably poised to deliver substantial pleasure over the course of its lifespan. Unequivocally in its youthful phase, it currently exudes dark red cherry and pomegranate punctuated by sweet spice and an exotic hit of mahogany oil. Grenadine and candied violet suffuse the palate. The tannins are taut and refined, buttressing the weighty core. On the precipice of tipping the scales just as the fresh acidity breezes through with an effortless lift."
