2004 BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Riserva Fuligni

2004 BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Riserva Fuligni

Grapes: Sangiovese Grosso  Origin: Italy, Tuscany
Lea & Sandeman review
A fabulous vintage and a fabulous Riserva which shows beautifully, with incredible elegance and power, very fine tannins, and sweet fruit notes, loaded with tar and roses. Still brooding and with great potential this will age well through until about 2025.

Other reviews and comments
...fabulous depth of fruit and complexity, the aromas now coming out of the glass … simultaneously rounded and demanding.
David Way (www.winefriend.org)
Still closed on the nose with whiffs of violet and earth. Lush raspberry and plum flavours, chock-full of spice. Young and aggressive, but will be a beauty. 2015-2025 Best of Brunello Riserva 2004   5 Stars
Decanter Magazine
Aromas of blueberry and blackberry, with hints of lilac. Full and velvety, with powerful chewy tannins, but so well-defined and polished. Very long and intense, with bright acidity. Needs time to come together. Best after 2012.   96/100
The Wine Spectator
Fragrant with floral, vanilla and fruity notes, but still holding back a bit on the nose. Glorious, if youthful, palate: very concentrated, with fruit sweetness and freshness underpinned by solid, dry, but very polished, velvety tannins. Touches of deep, rich bitter chocolate and almond patisserie. Not really ready to drink, but you could – or you could leave it another dozen years.   94

Drink 2012-2024. Opened four hours before tasting. Bright rich ruby. Scented and serious. Dense Sangiovese fruit – very conscious of its own stateliness. Still very youthful. Savoury, dry and dense. Serious! Broad shoulders but not, for the moment, fun.   18

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva reveals gorgeous clarity, precision and richness in a generous, enveloping style. The fruit remains incredibly pure and almost primary at this stage, suggesting the wine has many years of fine drinking ahead of it. Deceptively medium in body, Fuligni’s Riserva has plenty of tannic clout to back up the sexy, opulent fruit. A layered, impeccable finish rounds out this utterly brilliant Riserva. Readers will not want to miss this fabulous Brunello from Fuligni. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. What a joy it is to taste these new releases from Fuligni. The Brunellos in particular are both exceptional for their respective vintages. The wines capture a middle ground between modern and traditional styles that is immensely appealing.   96/100
