Rebecca Meir-Liebman rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a stunning Brunello beginning with rose, truffles, dark cherries and tobacco on the nose, followed with earthy and leathery notes as well as red cherries and white pepper on the palate. A silky texture but with evident tannins, this wine has great structure and delivers everything you’d expect from a good Brunello - full and robust with excellent fruit! As a bonus, it's packaged with a very modern label. A great wine for the price point - worth every penny!
Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied Sangiovese grape that presents medium ruby in the glass with cherry and plum aromas. Spicy on the palate with high tannins and liquorice on the finish.
This wine should be decanted or aged long term. Serve with tomato based pasta dishes.




Natalie's Review

Lazzeretti Brunello di Montalcino 2013, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: A deep, dark and rich Brunello Di Montalcino from the Tuscany wine region. Elegant with forest floor, dried florals and dried fruit aromas on the nose. Dark cherry, plum, earthy mushroom and dried tobacco flavours on the palate. Tannins are firm and there is good acidity for grilled red meats or robust stews. Can easily cellar for two to three more years. Enjoy through to 2030.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
