James Suckling 93/100 (feb 2013)
+Very pretty aroma's of sweet berries and roses with a hint of stems. Full body, with ultrafine tannins and a silky textured finish. It's the wonderful mouthfeel that makes this such a delicious wine. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator 92/100 (mei 2013)
+A fresh, juicy cherry note is enlivened by spice and savory mineral elements in this lean yet firm red. Remains harmonious and persistent, featuring a long, spicetinged aftertaste. Shows excellent potential. Best from 2016 through 2032
Stephen Tanzer 92/100 (jul 2013)<div>
+Good full red. Captivating aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, sweet spices, violet and red rose. Then dense and suave in the mouth, with precise sangiovese flavors of red cherry, marzipan, minerals and herbs. The clean, long finish shows a penetrating note of redcurrant and rising, polished tannins. An excellent 2008 Brunello and one of the best wines I have ever had from Mocali.
Robert Parker 90/100 (jun 2013)
+The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is solid. Tobacco, sage, rosemary and new leather all add complexity to the dark fruit in its supple, generous, beautifully balanced Brunello. The 2008 can be enjoyed today for its supple fruit or cellared for at least a handful of years. It is a gorgeous, beautifully balanced wine from start to finish. Hints of sweet tobacco and dried flowers add perfume on the midweight, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 20132020
Jancis Robinson (feb 2013)
+Lacklustre mid ruby with orange rim. Multilayered with bags of sweet fruit. Intense and concentrated too, rich tannins melt into the fruit on the finish.
Wine Enthousiast 92/100 (mei 2013)
+Soft tones of toasted almond, cinnamon, nutmeg and espresso make for a bold and powerful bouquet. There’s ample fruit, presented as dried blackberry and cassis, that gives the wine the heft it needs to support the tight tannic structure and acidity. Sour cherry flavors drive the lively finish.
