Score 88+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2009

Bright, full red. Lovely lift to the aromas of strawberry, cherry, flowers, spices and red licorice. Juicy, broad and quite dry, with good vinosity giving a light touch to the fairly intense flavors. Still, this fresh wine seems a bit youthfully disjointed today, even spiky, and needs three or four years to harmonize. Finishes with dusty, building tannins.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2009

La Fortuna's 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is especially beautiful in this vintage. The wine is remarkable for its density, richness and concentration, all of which have been achieved while maintaining clarity and freshness. The French oak is beautifully integrated in this sumptuous, generous Brunello. Suggestions of flowers and spices add notes of brightness on the finish. The Brunello spent a whopping 40 months in 25-hectolitr medium-size casks prior to being bottled.
