Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 97
"Sangiovese-whisperer Alessandro Mori has delivered another superstar wine with the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna Delle Grazie. The bouquet is detailed and fine with bright accents of fragrant red rose, red currant, cola, licorice, grilled herb and crushed white peppercorn. The bouquet is loose, light and buoyant, with a smooth and natural progression of building aromas. The mouthfeel, however, is direct, important and determined. It’s that playful juxtaposition between the wine’s soft side and its stern side that makes this such an interesting and sensational wine to drink. Only 5,993 bottles were produced, and that’s the bad news."

Cask sample. Concentrated crimson. Deep, pure and concentrated. Has the same serious structure as the straight 2013, but everything is more enhanced – like looking through a magnifying glass. Mouth-filling, stalky tannins that need much more time to settle. Impressive balance and power, yet effortlessly retaining its elegance. (WS)
