VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2020
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is dark, rich and seductive from the first tilt of the glass. Here I find a mix of black cherry and crushed plums complemented by notes of cinnamon, clove and violet florals. This is silky yet savory, with a dense core of tart blackberry neatly wrapped in a web of salty minerals and fine tannins. In spite of its structure and weight, the 2016 from La Colombina maintains freshness and energy throughout, sometimes seeming more like food than wine through a sense of umami that starts on the palate and lingers throughout the long finish.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Nov 2020
La Colombina’s 2016 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a dark and sultry appearance, followed by aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry. Those dark fruit flavors are not heavy, and instead they show the lightness and lifted aromatic intensity that comes so uniquely to the Sangiovese grape, especially in a classic vintage such as this. Spice, tar and campfire ash come up on the finish. This is a well-priced 11,000-bottle release for medium-term drinking.

This is trim and angular, with a beam of cherry and raspberry fruit shaded by iron, sanguine and wild herb notes. The tannins are firm, while the finish echoes sweet, ripe fruit. Be patient. Best from 2024 through 2043. 240 cases made, 150 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)

This is extremely perfumed with black cherries, purple fruit and cedar. Some lavender, too. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a beautiful finish. Needs time to soften, but already very beautiful. Drink after 2023.

A relaxed nose of ripe black berries and soft, pungent minerals. Full-bodied with the same, pleasant balance of fruit and minerals, underscored by very fine, largely integrated tannins. Long, balanced finish. I like the intensity and balance here. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. (James Suckling)

A smooth red, with cherry, plum and spice flavors shaded by savory underbrush and wild herb accents. Shows iron and tobacco details on the long finish, with fine balance and grip overall.

Extremely perfumed and fresh with an elegant and attractive nose. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine, delicate tannins and a delicious finish. So delicious. Drink now.
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2023
Wild herbs, black cherries and exotic spices create a wildly inviting bouquet as the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens in the glass. This is undeniably silky and elegant on the palate. Fleshy red fruits are neatly framed by bright acids, as balsam and mocha notes form toward the close. The 2019 leaves a gentle staining of fine tannins to linger, along with a sour citrus hint that adds contrast. This is simply a pleasure today but has short-term cellaring potential. (Eric Guido)

Tre Monti Thea Rosso

Sangiovese Superiore Riserva
2020 / 750 ml.

VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2023
Dark and intense, the 2020 Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Thea slowly opens in the glass with a dusty blend of black cherries, licorice and purple and blue florals. It flows across the palate with velvety textures and medium-bodied weight. A brisk, acidic core balances the mineral-tinged fruit. This leaves a coating of fine tannins as licorice and exotic spice nuances echo throughout. The 2020 is a powerful rendition of Thea that maintains excellent balance. (Eric Guido)

Floral nose with fresh blackberries and flowers. Some dry earth, too. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of black-fruit flavor and a lightly firm tannin structure. Long finish. Nicely done. Give it a year to come more together. Try from 2024. (James Suckling)

Plum, leather, eucalyptus and earth flavors ply this tense, linear red. It’s on the chewy side, courtesy of dense tannins, yet long and savory. Drink now through 2028. 3,750 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. (Bruce Sanderson)
RP8888 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 11th Mar 2021
An easy and accessible single-vineyard expression, the 2018 Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant’Alfonso opens to dried cherry and plum with light spice and tobacco. There is a sweet note on the close that recalls blackberry or cherry confit, and the wine finishes with a soft and round mid-weight style. This is a family-priced Chianti Classico to plunk down on the table next to a big platter of that Italian-American favorite, cheese-filled manicotti. (Monica Larner)
