Alessandro Mori's Il Marroneto 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a spicy bouquet with hints of cumin and white pepper that fold seamlessly into bright cherry, blueberry and cassis. The trick to this wine is balance, as no one side pulls stronger than the other. More importantly, this Brunello still has life and vibrant energy despite 39 months of aging in oak casks. Precisely because this bottle tastes so good now, I see little reason to wait further. This 21,470-bottle release is a delight.  Monica Larner

Fresh, red fruit character with cherries and red plum as well as hints of gun powder, coffee beans, spices and dried orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins and a supple, velvety core of fruit on the mid-palate. Lingering mineral sensation in the finish. Best after 2024.

Lustrous deep ruby. A little closed but with great purity of fruit on the nose. Waves of concentrated, intense fruit on the palate. Suave and elegant and generous at the same time, showing true cru quality. Fantastic, chewy, tactile tannins following the fruit on the finish. Classic. Can be approached now but will improve for some time to come. (WS)
