Beautiful aromas of dark cherry, dried herbs and licorice. Cherry with hints of cocoa on the pallet. Pleasant texture, stiff tannins and long finish. Enough acidity to keep everything in balance. — 5 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. On Day 1, giving new meaning to “Riserva”, the 2013 Terre Nere Riserva was quite shy with hints of tart cherry and earth but that’s about it. However, I could tell that underneath the shell, there was a wine of tremendous substance…but it was going to need some time to get comfortable with its surroundings. We finished our glass and placed the cork back in the neck of the bottle to revisit the next day. Day 2 aaaaand here we go! Bright cherries, dried green herbs, bergamot, black tea, dusty earth, Asian spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with tannins in the medium+ category and acid following suit. The notes from the nose are confirmed on the palate. The finish is long and savory. And the texture: silky smooth. This is a gorgeous Brunello that’s packed with depth but needs patience to realize it’s true form. I expect a long life yet ahead. — a year ago
