Pian dell'Orino 2004 Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  1. $135
Barbecue smoke and mesquite wood are the most immediate aromas you will notice here. You’ll also recognize background tones of black peppercorn, lead pencil and licorice. The wine delivers loads of intensity in the mouth. This a big, thick and dense expression that is ready to drink now.  — M.L.  (10/1/2010)

Pian dell'Orino 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  1. $65
What an improvement over the overripe and jammy 2003 vintage. This is a nicely ripened, garnet-colored Brunello that boasts impressive aromatic intensity. You’ll notice aromas of blackberry, spice, cherry cola and warmer tones of wet earth, leather and tobacco. The wine is thick and textured in the mouth.  — M.L.  (10/1/2010)

Superintense and fine, this elegant Brunello delivers its aromas in an immediate and determined manner. There’s cola, root beer, cassis, spice and pressed violet and the mouthfeel is crisp and well structured.  — M.L.  (2/1/2012)

Pian dell'Orino 2003 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)

  • Online Exclusive
This a dense, jammy Brunello with overblown notes of blackberry, mature cherry and strawberry backed by gritty tones of wood, toast and nut. The wine tastes thick and syrupy, with chewy red fruit and a blast of heat, and does not promise a long aging future.  — M.L.  (5/1/2009)
