Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2008 Cupano

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a massively layered and brooding wine that opens with an excruciatingly slow aromatic evolution that bodes well for its longevity in your cellar. The aromas are dealt forward in generous, oversize portions with tones of cherry liqueur, mesquite smoke and mahogany. The mouthfeel is shaped by oak aging (30% of the wine sees 36 months of new French barrique) and shows sweet tannins and a long, fleshy finish. Cupano’s wines denote an international style, but they also have a proven track record for longevity.
