96pts Tasting Panel
Potpourri of dried sagebrush and mint with blonde espresso bean. Medium- bodied. Candied red cherry, granular tannins, and beautiful nuances of red tea leaf on the long, salty finish.
95pts James Suckling
Complex and open already, with aromas of slate, dried rosemary, grilled sage, lemon peel, sour cherries and cardamom. Supple and full-bodied with sleek and fine tannins. I like the olive-stone and herbal undertones. Firmer, mineral finish.
94pts Wine Spectator
A supple, delicate version, this red evokes cherry, licorice, white pepper, earth and rose hip flavors. Intense and balanced, with a gossamer texture, building to a chalky sensation on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2040.
94pts Robert Parker s Wine Advocate
This is a medium to full-bodied Sangiovese with dark and savory tones that are folded into dark fruit and plum. The San Filippo 2018 Brunello di Montalcino le Lucére shows ample aromas of tart cherry and dried raspberry that give the wine a bright first impression. In little time, a second wave of toasted aromas and spice are added to the presentation. The finish is smooth, lean and polished.
Winemaker Notes
The color is ruby red with reflexes verging on garnet. The perfume is intense, fine and elegant, with notes of cherries preserved in alcohol, enriched with spices and Mediterranean aromatics herbs. On the palate it explodes in all its finesse and elegance thanks to the dense and silky tannins. Excellent body that renders the flavor harmonious and persistent. Excellent nose-mouth correspondence.
