Robert Parker-Wine Advocate:  

The Poggio Nardone 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is spicy and smoky with lots of black fruit and oak intensity. This is one of the biggest wines in this report if you were to judge on aromatic intensity alone. Those smoky tones turn to tar, smoke and licorice, and the wine shows rich concentration and soft fruit weight to the palate. All that power (and tight tannins) is backed by a relatively moderate 14% alcohol. Only 2,000 bottles were made.
