1995 Col d’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Col d’Orcia

The 1995 Brunello di Montalcino emerges from the glass with hints of smoke, scorched earth, licorice and tobacco. Here, too, the aromas are more forward than the fruit, which remains big, powerful and virile. The tannins are quite firm, and the wine remains young, even after all these years. A huge, intense finish rounds things out.
92 points. Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
