2016 Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino Oliveto p56
95 Points - James Suckling: Intense aromas of crushed stones and flowers with dark cherries and berries, following through to a full body with fine yet solid tannins that add length and energy to the wine. Beautiful fruit at the end, in a subtle and sophisticated way. Better after 2024, but already a gem.
94 Points - Wine Advocate: Here's a new discovery from Tenuta Buon Tempo. The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Oliveto p. 56 is showing nicely at this point in time, with dark fruit nuances and some budding hints of evolution with smoke, campfire ash and iron ore. The wine is named after a vineyard, or parcel number 56. It opens to a medium garnet appearance and shows immediate aromas of candied cherry, cola, balsam herb and red rose. Compared to the 2017 vintage Brunello, this Riserva is light and delicate, while showing lots of underlying power nonetheless. Production is 8,093 bottles.
