JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "A bright ruby/red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Ripe Al Convento is spicy on opening, with layered aromas of cedar, cranberry compote, blood orange, and dried flowers. The palate brings forward wonderful energetic and refreshing acidity, with well-defined, angular tannins, and mouthwatering, salty accents. It's an exceptional and fresh Riserva with the bones to age over the coming 20 years." Drink now - 2045. - Audrey Frick
KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "The 2019 Vigna Ripe al Convento opens with aromas of leather, ripe forest berry, dark spice and whiffs of violet. Full-bodied and well balanced, the polished palate offers prune, dried cherry, licorice and tobacco before closing on a hint of coffee bean. Taut, close-grained tannins provide support while fresh acidity keeps it bright. Drink 2029–2039. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe November 2024 ©kerinokeefe.com"
