DONATELLA CINELLI COLOMBINI
Brunello di Montalcino 2017
93 points
A dense, solidly built red, with wild herb, eucalyptus and soy aromas enveloping the core of cherry and plum fruit. Balanced and lingers nicely on the fruity, savory and tobacco-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2040. —B.S.
DONATELLA CINELLI COLOMBINI
Brunello di Montalcino Prime Donne 2017
93 points
A lithe, long and intense red, with forthcoming aromas of woodsy undergrowth, mushroom, cherry and flowers gathering elements of iron, tobacco and tar on the palate. Today, the back end is framed by big tannins, yet all the components are in the right proportions. Best from 2024 through 2042. —B.S.
