madonne del piano 2013 opens with savoury, truffle and meaty aromas with a complex and quite cryptic nose that delivers a wealth of ripe plums and cherries, cedar and fresh, violet-like flowers, as well as some earthy nuances. The palate has a very sturdy, intense and power-charged core of rich plums and dark cherries framed in quite fierce tannins that are so long. Super Brunello Riserva here with great potential. 98 points James Suckling
