Wine Advocate-Parker : The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Campogiovanni Il Quercione is a dark and brooding wine that boasts top-notch power, intensity and balance. The bouquet revs up slowly with a first layer of dark fruit and plum followed by spice, leather and dry tobacco leaf. The various aromatic elements are bold and sharply defined - yet they come together in seamless fashion. Firm tannins and soft fruit flavors give the wine power and length.
