Collosorbo

Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino shows sweet plum and wood smoke; balanced and juicy; firm structure; fine accents of spice, smoke and tea; this wine will do well with a few years of bottle age.

85 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '00 Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino is a good wine, with plum and light cedar aromas and flavors; medium body, fine tannins, light finish; drink now.

87 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '01 Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino is fresh and focused with floral and berry character; medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish; best after 2006.

88 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. Collosorbo's forward, evolved '98 Brunello di Montalcino exhibits an evolved garnet color, a silky texture, supple tannin, and sweet, complex, earthy, cherry fruit.

91 PTS STEPHEN TANZER. Deep ruby with a garnet core, the '97 Collosorbo Brunello di Montalcino opens with appealing smells of sottobosco, tobacco, wet soil and spicy cedar; redolent of overripe fruit.

90 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The stylish '10 Collosorbo Rosso di Montalcino is a fresh, vinous effort with attractive dark fruit, smoke and underbrush notes; an excellent choice for near-term drinking.
