Lunadoro Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Pagliareto 2019

WinesCritic.com

Precise and elegant, with ripe undertones blending Mediterranean charm, featuring notes of marjoram, lemongrass, and rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, with soft, well-matured tannins and a clean, crisp finish marked by a pleasant flavor and lively tension.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Beautiful, lightly coloured red. The nose is very stately with aromas brimming with sunshine coupled with very fine oakiness. Clean, forthright structure, precise tannins and exemplary balance on the palate of this stellar wine.

Falstaff

Bright, rich ruby. A nose of rich cherry fruit, plus some raspberry confit, then after a bit of time, fine dried petals, a hint of orange zest and white pepper. Soft milk chocolate initially on the palate, then crisp red berry fruit, wrapped in juicy-youthful tannins, grippy, currently still quite drying on the finish.

Intravino

Fresh and tightly woven nose, balsamic and peppery hints, morello cherries and a pleasant iodine note, a rich and textured palate, with hints of resin and firm tannins that leave a memorable impression.

Decanter

Red cherries and plums, overt vanilla but also tobacco and cedar. Nice density and length with a slightly bitter finish.

Wine Spectator

A traditional style, this red boasts cherry, licorice, leather, iron and medicinal herb flavors. Firm, leaving a dusty earth note on the long finish. This won't appeal to everyone but has plenty of character. Best from 2020 through 2035. $40

Gilbert & Gaillard

Red with some garnet tints. Shy nose offering up a blend of stone fruits, herbs and a touch of coffee. The palate is not much more articulate but shows lovely finesse, fullness, salinity and a traditional vegetal structure.

Intravino

Intense balsamic, camphor, cardamom and ripe black cherries, palate with sour cherries, pepper and saltiness, crunchy and elegant finish

Flaskehalsen

NÅR SANGIOVESE RAMMER BALANCEN... Sangiovese findes i mange forskellige indpakninger. Lige fra de helt stramme tannin-monstre til de overmodne og bløde udgaver med tørrede druer. Her får du et flot eksempel på, hvordan klassisk Sangiovese kan være frugtig uden at blive sød, for Lunadoro formår at skabe en særlig balance, hvor tanninerne ikke gemmes væk, men hvor de i stedet pakkes ind i mere frugtige lag. Det er fint og afbalanceret, og Sangiovese-druen fungerer faktisk rigtig fint i en lidt kraftigere udgave, uden at det behøver blive grød-agtigt.

WinesCritic.com

Serious, mature and rich in substance this Selection offers notes of wet geraniums, black plums, black cherries and dark chocolate. There is more in the background with nuances of star anise and eucalyptus. Medium body, slightly firm tannins and a medium tension finish. Better from 2023.

Mad og Monopolet

Det er ikke særlig tit, at jeg oplever en Sangiovese af denne kvalitet til denne pris. Når det sker, så sørger jeg altid for at sikre at bestille 6 stk., så kan jeg følge, hvordan de udvikler sig løbende. Denne er skøn nu, men bliver kun bedre og bedre. Skøn duft af syrlig frugt, ribs, tranebær samt timian, oregano, mørk chokolade med højt kakaoindhold. I munden er den cremet, fyldig og med masser af tydelig frugtsmag og et skønt "bærstempel".

Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of ripe plum, cedar and oak-driven spice lead the nose. Lean and linear, the palate offers prune, dried cherry and coffee bean alongside fine-grained, drying tannins.

Decanter

Beef jerky spice with sun dried tomato and vanilla. Palate quite spicy with tart acidity but good complexity and length.
