2019 Brunello Vigna del Lago

Auch wieder ein toller 2019er Brunello mit dieser Extra-Portion Tiefe und Vielschichtigkeit. Im Vergleich mit anderen hoch bewerteten Crus geradezu verboten günstig...

Komplex und sehr elegant mit großzügiger Frucht, balsamischen und würzigen Noten. Es offenbart sich eine wahre Explosion an gereiften Früchten.
Feine, elegante Tannine streicheln den Gaumen. Im Mund gehen diese in sanfte, intensiv lange Noten von dunkler Kirsche, Pflaume und Brombeere über.

Falstaff:
"Leuchtendes, glänzendes Rubinrot. Würzig in der Nase, nach Zypresse, Kräutern, roter Beerenfrucht, dazu feine erdig-steinige Anklänge. Am Gaumen mit schöner Saftigkeit, klarer Frucht und engmaschig gewobenem Tannin, kühl, mit ansprechender Haptik, im Finale schöne Salzigkeit." 95 Punkte

Suckling:
" Smells of subtle fruit and flowers with cedar and sandalwood. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh and fruity finish. All about lovely, perfectly ripe fruit with a citrus flower undertone. Drinkable now but better in two or three years." 95 Punkte

Parker:
"Sporting a new label design, the Val di Suga 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Lago comes from an 18-hectare vineyard with clay soils at a moderate 280 meters above sea level. This does indeed show a precise mineral note that stands out, but you also get dark fruit, rich Morello cherry and a pretty herbal end note. The wine is very Mediterranean in spirit with a rich mouthfeel, sweet but solid tannins and balanced freshness. You can't go wrong with this textbook Brunello. This is a 12,000-bottle release." 94 Punkte

Decanter:
"Surrounding Val di Suga’s cellar in Montalcino’s northeast, Vigna del Lago is cooled by winds from the north and hemmed in by cypress trees. At 280 metres, the vines sit on clay soil. For this bottling, ageing is in 40-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks. Characterised by lightness, tightness and a slight reduction at the moment, it opens up with dark cherry and alpine herbs. The fine-boned frame packs in cranberry and currants with traces of blood orange and forest roots. Vertical tannins occupy the mid-palate, and the finish is driven by lively citrussy acidity. That austerity says ‘wait!‘." 94 Punkte
