Vinous: 99 Points
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva captivates as it slowly blossoms in the glass, but this is a wine that is truly worth waiting for. With each swirl, a bouquet of mentholated cherry, autumnal spice, shaved cedar and Tuscan dust gains amplitude and richness. The textures are undeniably elegant, communicating opulence while also stimulating the senses with salty minerals and an inner smokiness that I find wildly compelling. An intense array of red currants, licorice and savory spice fills the senses and translates directly to the finale, where regal tannins saturate, promising a remarkably long life. I didn’t think it was possible for Le Potazzine to outdo their 2015 annata, yet they truly have. Only 3,000 bottles of this beauty were produced.
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
The Le Potazzine 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is released a year after most other Riservas hit the market (most of this winery's peers are now selling the 2016 vintage). This pretty wine is open-knit and rich showing nice textural support. It is redolent of dried cherry blackberry light spice tar and smoke. This special selection of fruit shows elegant results in this hot and sunny vintage.
