The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli emerges from the glass with masses of scorched earth, leather, tar, licorice, menthol and dark fruit. The Riserva shows a touch more inner sweetness, richness and depth in its fruit than the regular bottling, plus a bit more French oak as well. For now, the Riserva is quite reticent and requires air, but with time its awesome richness and power come through in spades. This dark, brooding and authoritative Riserva from Il Poggione is simply gorgeous. Readers who don't want to pay the premium for the Riserva in 2004 need not worry, I tasted the 2004 regular bottling (twice!) while preparing this article and it is every bit as promising as my review last year suggested. In 2004 the Paganelli vineyard was harvested on the 13th of October, quite late for this estate. Robert Parker

Eine erstklassige Brunello Riserva: im Bouquet komplex und tief mit blumigen Noten und Anklängen an Kakao und Vanille. Am Gaumen eine faszinierende Frucht, die gut mit den Tanninen verschmilzt und noch lange auf der Zunge nachklingt. Ein großer eleganter Toskaner aus dem Hause Il Poggione, an dem Sie noch viele Jahre Freude haben werden. (superiore.de) The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is huge, powerful and totally implosive. ... The 2006 is going to require considerable patience, but it is clearly a jewel of a wine, even at this early stage. Robert Parker
