Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2008

Good deep red. Plum, herbs and a whiff of dried leaves on the nose, with redcurrant and floral notes emerging with air. Supple and sweet in the mouth, with nicely integrated acidity framing the flavors of redcurrant and tobacco. Finishes with fairly sweet tannins and very good length. Dry, classic, medium-bodied sangiovese without quite the verve for a higher score.

The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta di Sesta is a pretty, layered wine that possesses tons of Sangiovese typicity in its dark red cherries, tobacco, tar, smoke and wild herbs. Made in an elegant, understated style, this medium-bodied, cask-aged Brunello reveals superb precision and clarity. Simply put, this is a beautiful glass of wine!
