A remarkable effort from Lisini in this vintage, the 2009 Riserva shows a bit more depth then the classic Brunello. Opening with aromas of cherries and wild berries followed by fresh cut floral, spices, licorice, and hints of leather, which all take shape beautifully in the glass. This possesses a medium-full body with wonderful overall structure as it expands though the finish with wonderful finesse. The Riserva is already quite accessible and I expect it will continue to evolve over the course of the next decade. (Best 2016-2026) - September, 2016 (JD)
