La Magia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2015 BIO

International Wine Report

Incredible quality of fruit that dispenses energy and sensory brilliance with notes of cherries, black cherries, raspberries and red plums. I like the background notes of lime and cedar which confirm the quality and refinement. Full body, creamy tannins, dense and concentrated at the moment and a final with an imperial balance that combines the fullness of the volume and the length in the progression. This is a great wine!

James Suckling

Intense aromas of blackberries, mushrooms, forest floor and wet earth. Full body and round,chewy tannins. Powerful palate. Persistent finish. Very structured. Give it three or four year to soften.

Vinous

La Magia's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is restrained at first. Cool-toned red berry fruits, hints of sage, brown spice and lifting minerality open up first. Silky textures usher in tart red fruits, energized by brisk acids with a mix of minerals and spice, saturating the senses. The finish is long, as a coating of dark red berry concentrate clings to the senses amidst fine tannins which arrive late yet hold firm.

Robert Parker

La Magia's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a dark garnet appearance with faint sepia hues. It showcases a classic Brunello color and austerity of aromas: Dried cherry, cassis, rum cake, balsam herb and dried lilac add complexity and depth. This pretty wine changes aromatic personality with each swirl of the glass, revealing dark primary fruit and smoky spice with each circular movement. There are subtle hints of candied cherry or cherry cough drop, with faint medicinal herb, that point to the heat and warmth of this growing season in sunny Tuscany. Enjoy those aromas alongside a platter of pecorino wedges.

René Langdahl

Sødmefuld og mørk kirsebærduft, sorte amarenakirsebær med sod og brændt stubmark, urter til bjesk, juicy og har frugtsødme og en del varme fra alkohol, der stikker for meget, fornem tannin og meget ekstraheret undervejs, men slutter forbløffende balanceret og frisk.

Decanter

While owner/winemaker Fabian Schwarz sometimes declassifies fruit to make a Rosso di Montalcino, in 2015 he felt the quality was high enough to craft Brunello exclusively. Initially closed, scents of red cherry laced with savoury balsamic nuances eventually emerge. The palate is densely packed with lovely round, bright fruit securely corseted by muscular tannins. Ageing is in 500-litre tonneaux, 30% new. All the elements are in place, they just need time to knit together.

Jyllands Posten

Masser af urter i næsen, blød rund smag med noter af chokolade. Meget behagelig og fredsommelig af så ung en vin at være.

Tasted blind. Concentrated ruby. Subdued yet minerally. On the palate perfectly handled oak, focused, tangy cherry fruit of real depth, and stubborn, chewy tannins. Still embryonic but with lots of stuffing.
