James Suckling: 93 Points
Plenty of forest berry and leaf aromas with cedar wood and some menthol, ahead of a smooth and succulent palate that has an easygoing, flavorful core of ripe berries. Lots to like here.

The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino Luce definitely holds its own. I was a little surprised to see that the Frescobaldi family opted to make this top-end Brunello in such a difficult vintage. Now that I have the sample before me I can clearly see the confidence required to make such a difficult choice. In fact, I'm not even sure I would get that this wine was from 2014 in a blind tasting. It delivers ripe and round fruit flavors of blackberry and plum, along with significant 15.5% alcohol and thick extraction that defies everything we know about 2014. There is a lot of power and grit at the core of this opulent Brunello.
Vinous: 92 Points
Deep red. Balsamic, spicy and earthy notes complement aromas and flavors of ripe blue and red fruit. Juicy flesh and very suave tannins give this a polished, creamy mouthfeel. Finishes long and multilayered. A very good Brunello in a difficult vintage such as 2014.
