La Magia Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 Ekologisk

GardiniNotes.com

Brunello's Schwarz family idea is always fascinating: plants over forty years old, spontaneous fermentation in steel and truncated cone-shaped vats, then in tonneau, a nose with notes of valdostan mint and red mulberry, shades of undergrowth, and touches of cinnamon. Dense and rightly tannic to the taste.

Vinous

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino tempts the imagination with a burst of black raspberries and clove, elevated by nuances of citrus, mint and Christmas spice. It displays notable weight and soothingly round textures, offset by a saturation of tart red and black fruits, all underscored by saline mineral tones. A complex web of fine tannins adds youthful poise through the finish, tapering off classically dry and long with a subtle black cherry resonance that I find wildly attractive.

Decanter

Fabian Schwarz’ classic bottling embodies the volume-turned-up, ‘brunellone’ character of the vintage. It is deep ruby through and through, with animated aromas of red cherry, violet, lilac and sweet spice. Full and rich with waves of sumptuous red berries, it is deftly balanced with ample, sweet tannins lending chalky texture. Pristine and vibrantly lit, its well embedded oak adds to the complex fabric. I would wait for that youthful exuberance to give way to the profundities buried within.

James Suckling

Aromas of thyme, dried herbs, violets, brewed dark tea and sweet morello cherries. Pretty youthful and upfront, with a medium to full body and some chewy tannins at the end. Needs time to soften and open, but it’s all here. From organically grown grapes

Vert de Vin Magazine

Luminous ruby. Red fruit and blueberry shape a pure, generous nose. Energetic palate with fine tannins and chalk-iodine nuances. Persistent and refined finish.

Falstaff

Intense, brilliant ruby red with a violet shimmer. On the nose, crisp fruit reminiscent of red currant and cherry, backed by wet earth and black pepper. Complex and multilayered on the palate, with many earthy and spicy nuances, structured with a lingering finish.

WinesCritic.com

Bright and fragrant, it displays notes of elderflower, lime, mixed mandarins, citron pieces, and currants. Medium body, soft, lightly extracted tannins, and a pleasantly drinkable finish. Graceful with remarkable elegance.

WineAlign

Certifiably La Magia, verifiably without a doubt and would wager a guess that scientific analysis should prove the specs on this 2021 Brunello to come from no place else. Scents and tastes like the house, the vines and fruit with unequivocal characteristic style. Crunchy and laden with the localized macchia, sweetened of its own volition and vertical as it always must be. As clean and clear as ever, a trusted sangiovese complete and poised at this appellative level.

Tony Wood Italian Wine

Pale purple in colour. Lifted aromas of red and dark berry fruits, red rose petal, white smoke, Mocha, spice notes, roast meat and blood orange. Bing cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, tobacco leaf, floral underbrush, mint and cedar nuances, clove and damp cigar box. Rich palate, elegant body, deep textural resonance. Great tension and suppleness. Saline infused acidity. Friendly grippy tannins. Long and broad on the finish.
