Though tightly wound, there's a core of concentrated cherry and plum to this red, along with accents of earth, tobacco, and rosemary. Fresh and balanced, leaving a layer of fine tannins on the extended finish. Best from 2027 through 2042. —B.S.
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino wafts up with a dark and dusty bouquet as dried flowers and crushed stone give way to red currants. It’s soft textured with tactile mineral tones up front, adding a crunchy character to the tart wild berry fruits within. The 2019 finishes long and staining, leaving a tinge of balsamic spice and a liquid stone sensation that mellows over a bed of fine tannins. This is a brighter style for Mocali, and I like it quite a bit.
This is a richly textured Sangiovese with sweet plum, cooked cherry, spice, and crème de cassis. The Mocali 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine-focused mostly on texture and mouthfeel. It imparts nice weight to the palate with fine, chalky tannins. Drink 2025-2036. —M.L.
