James Suckling: Brunello's greatest vintages ever, 2016 and 2015

The article presents James Suckling’s assessment of two consecutive major Brunello vintages. La Màgia Brunello di Montalcino 2016 and Brunello di Montalcino Ciliegio 2016 each received 96 points, while Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015 received 97 points. The reviews emphasised the regular Brunello’s persistence and firm, polished tannins; Ciliegio’s power, concentrated fruit and need for further ageing; and the Riserva’s layered texture, floral character and ageing potential.
