Wine Advocate: 94 Points
I have not seen a Riserva from Lisini for a while, so this wine comes as a pleasant surprise. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva takes us back to one of the warmest vintages in recent memory. However, this wine holds nicely with plenty of lush primary fruit to keep it smelling and tasting younger than its years. Dark cherry and dried blackberry rise to the top. Soon to follow are layers of spice and sweet tobacco. The mouthfeel is thickly layered but velvety smooth all the while.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A big, rich style, this delivers concentrated plum, black cherry, leather, mineral and spice flavors. The finish today is dominated by dense tannins, but there is plenty of fruit here too. Shows complexity and length overall.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A big, fruity style of Brunello with spice, mineral, dried mushroom and ripe fruit. Full body, velvety tannins and a bright finish. Intense but contained with tension.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Truffle, saddle leather, game, crushed strawberry and grilled herb aromas unfold in the glass. The aromas carry over to the earthy chewy palate together with dried cherry and tobacco. Tightly knit close-grained tannins provide support.
