Robert Parker (95)
The Caparzo 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa reveals some fresh fruit with cherry and dark currant that continue to taste tart and fresh. The wine plays out nicely over the palate with medium-plus richness and youthful tannic structure. This is one of the best Brunello vintages since the new millennium, and this bottle still has runway for aging.
James Suckling (96)
Aromas of berry, toffee and chocolate with cherry undertones. It’s full-bodied with a tight, focused palate with ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Tight and polished. Needs bottle age to open and show its true potential. Try after 2023.
Vinous (94)
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa takes a little time to collect itself in the glass, pulling you closer as white smoke gives way to crushed stone, then peppery florals, wild strawberry and cedar. The textures are like pure silk, with an elegant display of savory black cherry and spice complicated by salty minerals. This shows amazing density while never feeling heavy, nearly masking its fine-grained tannins until the very end, where hints of orange citrus and dried berries linger. The 2016 La Casa is a beauty with plenty of upside potential.
Falstaff (94)
Powerful, flint ruby. Very much vivid and clear fruit, fresh plums, dark cherries, in the background fine cloves. Gripping, grippy tannin, spreads out richly, red berry fruit, slightly malty note on the finish.
Wine Enthusiast (94)
Rose, graphite, star anise and eucalyptus aromas come to the forefront. The chiseled, racy palate features juicy morello cherry, licorice and coffee bean framed in close-grained tannins and bright acidity.
