There are depths of velvety texture here, offset by tart woodland berries, salty minerals and zesty acids, and grippy tannins that come forward toward the close. Youthfully structured and cheek-puckering, the 2013 is still in need of a number of years to come fully into focus, but it is also packed full of tension and character. I’ll be very happy to taste this again in another five years.\" EG for VM Jan 2022\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRP94 \"One of three single-vineyard expressions from Val di Suga, the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio al Granchio opens to a nicely saturated color and beautifully intense aromas. Fruit is sourced from a site located in the southeast quadrant of Montalcino where steep diurnal shifts help to sharpen and maximize those pretty fruit aromas. Wild cherry and blackberry are followed by aniseed, camphor ash and balsam herb. This elegant wine delivers an impressive load of Sangiovese typicity. This wine was aged in French barrique for 24 months, and the oak is expertly integrated. Some 8,000 bottles were made.\" ML for TWA Feb 2019\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS94 \"This shows lovely depth on the nose with dark licorice, dried fruit, red meat, blood oranges and Indian spices. Full-bodied and intense, but with real linearity carved out by the bright acidity and firm, grainy tannin backbone, which help to delineate the red-fruited core and lead to a long finish. Drink in 2020.\" JS Jul 2018\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMonica Larner for RobertParker.com writes, \"Val di Suga has reintroduced a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, and I have reviewed the first new release of that wine here. This estate did make some 2014 Brunello di Montalcino but in very limited production numbers. It did not make its three single-vineyard expressions Poggio al Granchio, Vigna del Lago and Vigna Spuntali in the 2014 vintage. The 2013 editions of these wines are hitting the market now, and you will find reviews published here.\" Published: Feb 28, 2019","brand":"Val di Suga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48697251397869,"sku":"ITY:SUG:POGG-0750-2013-F0L0C0","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/ITYSUGPOGG-0750-2013-F0L0C0_49a8e2d0-8f38-4912-9fbd-5a1ca27933c7.jpg?v=1757979311","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2013-val-di-suga-brunello-di-montalcino-poggio-al-granchio-tuscany-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
