Lots of dark fruit, together with dried rose petals and savory ground herbs, followed by a hint of orange and citrusy character. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and chewy tannins. Pleasant, lingering herbal notes give an edge to the end. Structured. Better after 2026.

Opening to a lean garnet color, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is streamlined in texture with dried fruit, redcurrant and crushed flowers. It holds back in the mouth with a flavor profile that is short and faded in places. This 80,000-bottle production tastes a bit watered down.

The La Lecciaia 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a generous, full-bodied expression of Sangiovese (a grape that is usually on the leaner side of the spectrum). It shows a pretty dark ruby shine with aromas of dark cherry, dried currant, balsam herb and crushed flowers. Despite the rather grand presentation of aromas, the wine is more subdued on the palate with dry tannins and a good sense of textural richness. The finish is more abrupt in this wine compared to some recent editions from cooler growing seasons. Production is 80,000 bottles.

The La Lecciaia 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers loads of Sangiovese brightness with tart cherry, raspberry and dried blueberry. Those forest berry notes are followed by soft earthy tones, along with tobacco and spice, making it a pleasant pairing with a Tuscan pasta dish of wild boar or rabbit, perhaps with some herbs from your own garden. This affordable Brunello avoids the trappings of a warm vintage. Instead, it presents a very polished and linear personality that underlines its accessibility and easygoing elegance.

The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino shows fruit ripeness that is hard to place in this cool and rain-prone vintage. You get cherry confit and crème de cassis that adds a bright spot of sunshine to the gloom and gray. This is a mid-weight effort with enough fiber and staying power to pair with braised or grilled meats. Bottle production is big at 65,000 units.
