Score 88/100 · Drink 2001-2014, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
While the 1996 Brunello di Montalcino is well-made, it reveals the vintage's austerity as well as moderately intense aromatics of tobacco, Provencal herbs, cherries, leather, and spice. Although medium-bodied, moderately tannic, and reasonably long, this wine is not going to flesh out. Anticipated maturity: now-2014. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
