	[color=#3333FF]On behalf of Robert Parker and everyone at the Wine Advocate and eRobertParker.com, I’m pleased to announce the two newest
	members of our reviewer team: Monica Larner and Luis Gutiérrez.

Monica Larner will be responsible for reviewing the wines of Italy. An American and fluent Italian speaker currently based in Rome, Italy,
	Monica has been living on and off in Italy since age 11. Having grown up in a household that celebrated a deep appreciation for the culture
	of wine, she developed a love for wine from an early age. After high school in both Italy and California, Monica earned her undergraduate and
	graduate degrees in journalism from Boston University and New York University respectively. In 2003 she became Wine Enthusiast magazine’s
	first Italian editor. Over the course of the next ten years, her tasting responsibilities grew to producing 3,000 Italian wine notes per year
	(totalling 16,000 published reviews overall).
	She set up a tasting bureau near the Colosseum in Rome and continued her intense travel to the far-flung wine zones of Italy.
	Her proudest achievement is the 185-page special collector’s Wine Enthusiast “Wines of Italy” edition that showcases her decade-long body of work.

A native of Spain, Luis Gutiérrez joins us as our reviewer for Spain, Chile and Argentina. After more than two decades of working in an IT
	position for a large multinational company based in Madrid, sharing his free time between his family and wine, he has decided to make wine
	his full-time career. Luis was a founding member of elmundovino.com, the prestigious wine website published in Spanish, where he has written
	and tasted since its creation in the year 2000. He has also written for other publications belonging to the El Mundo newspaper in Spain as well as
	contributing to different wine and gastronomy publications in Spain, Portugal, Puerto Rico and the UK. He was the Spanish specialist correspondent
	for Jancisrobinson.com since May 2011 and received the Spanish National Gastronomy Award for journalism in November 2012 from the Spanish Minister
	for Tourism. Today he continues to live in the Spanish capital with his British-Irish-Italian wife and their three children.

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Monica and Luis to our team!

Cheers,
	Lisa Perrotti-Brown[/color]

	Three reviews on Luce della Vite 2007 Brunello di Montalcino

Monica Larner: Opens with an opulent, generous style that is packed tight with black cherry, cassis, black currant, cola, leather and pipe tobacco.
	This is a plush, rich and deeply texture wine with intensity and long staying power. It shows dense tannins with a touch of youthful astringency.
	Solid mouthfeel. Age 10 more years. A real crowd-pleaser. 97pts.

Antonio Gallion: iThe 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Luce emerges from the glass with sweet, super-ripe red cherries, mint, licorice and tobacco.
	This is an especially huge, powerful wine endowed with tremendous richness and sheer size. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the layered, explosive finish. 92pts.

Steve Tanzer: Rich, ripe, lush and smooth, showing a slightly medicinal cabernet-like character as well as the exotic ripeness of the year.
	Solidly built and attractive wine with a strong oakiness throughout. Not at all in a floral, delicate style. 89pts.

	“I retract any litigation and lawsuits, including any and all injunctions and restraining orders.
	I admire Antonio for his work with us since 2006 and sincerely wish to put this all behind us. I was feeling ill and believe
	I had an adverse reaction to some of the medication I was taking.”
