Stunning from the first tilt of the glass the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. This blends an array of dried flowers with autumnal spices cedar-tinged cherries and clove hints in a way that I find wildly appealing. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk guided by bright acidity as depths of wild berry fruits and mineral tones saturate toward the close. The 2019 lingers impossibly long leaving a staining of primary concentration to mingle with grippy tannins and licorice nuances yet an airy freshness remains through it all. The combination of house style and vintage character here is otherworldly. It will take much willpower to keep our hands off of the 2019 long enough to watch it properly mature. Spellbinding. - By Eric Guido on November 2023

Showing the estate?s hallmark of finesse and the intensity of the vintage the 2019 Brunello from Le Potazzine has aromas of fragrant blue flower crushed mint new leather and wild berry. Full-bodied and savory the savory palate has a weightless concentration delivering raspberry tart ripe Morello cherry baking spice and star anise set against firm fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028?2039. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O?Keefe November 2023

Proprietor Gigliola Giannetti confirms that 2019 is one of those rare vintages that the estate produced a Riserva as well - but we will have to wait a couple more years for its release. Harvested between 27 September and 5 October Le Potazzine?s Brunello 2019 exhibits all the vintage?s signature fragrance. Heady cherry blossom freesia and violet entice immediately while promising more to come. Pure and delineated the palate offers almost a plushness of strawberry and red cherry then long suede-like tannins arrive in waves never drowning out the fruit. Dense yet spacious with a sophisticated texture this needs more time. Tasted by: Michaela Morris
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
Le Potazzine farms some of the highest vineyards in the appellation at 420 to 507 meters above sea level. As we know high elevations are essential today for maintaining acidity and aromatic freshness especially in the face of climate change. That has never been a problem for this estate and the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino delivers all the goods. The bouquet opens to dried cranberry redcurrant rosemary flower and light spice. The palate is streamlined and elegant concluding with powdery tannins. This is a 16000-bottle release.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Bright and pure featuring strawberry cherry rose mineral and wild herb flavors. This straddles the line between delicate elegant and electric with vivid acidity and resonant tannins. Offers superb harmony and a lingering aftertaste of red fruit. Best from 2026 through 2043.- Bruce Sanderson
