Wine Advocate Score: 91
Smoke, tar, earthiness and toasted oak emerge from Collosorbo’s brooding 2003 Brunello di Montalcino, which is unusually powerful in this vintage. Today the wine comes across as surprisingly fresh with a perfumed inner sweetness to the fruit that gives the mid-palate an attractive juiciness. Although the tannins could use a little more polish, this is a superb effort from oenologist Paolo Caciorgna and Collosorbo in 2003. 2009-2018.
Consulting oenologist Paolo Caciorgna has done a lot to improve the quality of the wines at this property, which is situated in the southern part of the zone. The Collosorbo wines are characterized by their seductive aromatics and layered fruit.
