The 2009 Brunello was produced with our proprietary clone of Sangiovese Grosso called BBS11, which was identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo. For this Brunello we used grapes from vineyards which were older than 10 years of age, including the oldest ones that are usually designated for the production of Riserva.
Vinous: 92 Points
Vivid full red. Red cherry, raspberry, violet, minerals and licorice on the pure, captivating nose. Penetrating, savory and sweet, with terrific energy and purity to the sappy red fruit and mineral flavors. The vibrant, pure finish is firm and gripping but not particularly tannic. Tasted four different times since January of this year: I scored one bottle 93, two bottles 92 and one 90, so I'll go with the median score. Another very successful, archetypically pure sangiovese from Biondi-Santi.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Beautiful floral fragrances of violet and rose accompany whiffs of leather and wet soil. The smooth palate delivers succulent wild cherry accented with notes of white pepper, black tea and a hint of vanilla alongside silky tannins. This will develop more complexity over the next decade but it won't have the longevity of other vintages. Drink 2015–2024. — Kerin O’Keefe
