Reviewed December 2020Lots of mushroom and balsamic aromas to this with sour cherry. Black licorice, too. It’s full-bodied with round tannins with juicy fruit. Some bark and dry earth. Rather chewy. A pleasant old wine that shows mature Brunello character.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.
Take possession as soon as your order is ready, or choose managed storage with RareStorage.

Wine Advocate
The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is a super-ripe, opulent wine that resembles the 1997 in its generous, full-bodied personality. The tannins are surprisingly well-balanced within the context of this challenging vintage. The 2003 should drink well relatively early for this Riserva. All things considered, this is a superb effort. Production was down sharply in 2003. The estate bottled just 13,000 bottles of this wine compared to the typical production of 23,000 bottles. (AG)

Ripe and plummy, showing just a hint of raisin, but with brightness too, offering plum, leather, tobacco and tar flavors. The tannins are a touch more rustic here, but overall this is balanced and long. (BS)
