2005 BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Collemattoni

2005 BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Collemattoni

Grapes: Sangiovese  Origin: Italy, Tuscany
Lea & Sandeman review
A denser and fuller style (than Fuligni) with layers of richly textured fruit, very glossy, rich oak tannins, and above all beautifully balanced with a very long finish. This is a joy to drink immediately but will also evolve well over a decade and possibly more.

Other reviews and comments
Drink 2009-2016. Bright ruby. No Riserva (nor in 2002, 2003). Orange peel and concentration and meatiness. Very bold and attention grabbing, lots of tannins. Firm and clean and confident. Firm tannins. But lovely balance on the palate.   17.5

Richly fruity and concentrated with perfumed-violet floral notes, ripe cherry fruit and biscuity sweet development. Delicious now, but substantial, structured and well-balanced enough to last the rest of the decade. The estate is very small estate, but it's definitely one to watch – and the prices are still reasonable.   92

Perfumed, with leather and berry aromas that turn slightly floral. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fruity, clean finish. Delicious already. Drink now.   88/100
The Wine Spectator
The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino shows lovely density and purity in an up-front style. Dark red cherries, flowers and sweet spices sit on a medium to full-bodied frame. The tannins are a touch firm yet beautifully integrated. The wine opens up nicely in the glass, with floral, spiced notes that reappear on the delicate finish. I preferred the 2005 regular Brunello to the 2004 Riserva by a wide margin. This is a lovely effort from Collematoni. The 2005 Brunello is made from vineyards in Sesta (50%). Sant’Angelo in Colle (30%) and Castelnuovo dell’Abate (20%). Today the wine is quite primary, but it should develop nicely in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.   91/100
