Critics Ratings

'The 1993 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Case Basse is sensational. A spectacular bouquet of tobacco, ginger, soy, roasted meat, black cherry, plum, and toast scents is followed by layer upon layer of fruit, sweet tannin, super ripeness, and gorgeous complexity and symmetry. This is an exceptionally complex, full-flavored Brunello di Montalcino that can be drunk now, or cellared for 10-15 years. This idiosyncratic but brilliant effort is not for everybody (few can afford it), but it represents a wine of great originality and complexity.' - Robert Parker Jr, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Aug 1999)

'A deep, sensual beauty, the 1993 is in a perfect spot now, where the aromas and flavors show gorgeous complexity allied to the seemingly eternal freshness that is the hallmark of these wines. The 1993 is a fabulous choice for drinking today, but it also has enough density to drink well for another 10-15 years, and likely beyond.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 95/100 (Mar 2013)
