Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casa (Ex-Domaine) 2004 (750ML)

93 WA / 93 JS / 93 WS

The single-vineyard 2004 Brunello di Montalcino La Casa is a sweet, layered offering that blossoms on the palate with notable elegance and class. The wine continues to build, showing terrific volume and density as its dark fruit accompanies the tannins all the way to the finish. This is an intense, brooding Brunello in need of bottle age, but its qualities are impossible not to admire even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media

This is a pretty and mature Brunello with dried-cherry, cedar, sandalwood and fresh-leather character. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Dusty texture. Fascinating. Drink now. James Suckling

A floral and perfumed nose, with raspberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, with racy tannins and a dense yet refined palate. A little tight still. Give it a little more bottle age. Best after 2010. 1,665 cases made. — JS – The Wine Spectator
