| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 22 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by kiwivino on 3/28/2024 & rated 91 points: Drinking well now, but will be fine for 4 or 5 years. (598 views) | | | Tasted by Paschap on 3/16/2024 & rated 92 points: Очень светлое, гранатовое, прозрачное. В аромате красные ягоды, яблоко, цедра апельсина, гвоздика, красный перец, дерево, цветы, корица, сухая трава, лакрица, копчёности. Во вкусе среднее тело, высокая кислотность, убористые танины. 92/100 (685 views) | | | Tasted by Kcid on 9/6/2023 & rated 92 points: Lots of black cherry, tar, and and some anise on the nose.
Lots of black fruit, dried herbs, and some cassis on the palate.
Long finish which is bright, acidic, and full of fruit. Very nice. (1605 views) | | | Tasted by Jason Wu on 3/19/2023 & rated 94 points: Pale ruby in colour.
Medium plus intensity on the nose. Aromas of orange peel, sour cherry, red date, red roses, red plum. It’s developing.
Dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity, lovely savoury tannins, balanced and delicious, seductive umami characters, medium plus finish. Bottle decanted over the night, the wine expressed charming mushroom, truffle and become more expressive and elegant on the palate. On a blind tasting, I probably would mistake it as a aged Barolo. Absolutely beautiful. (2414 views) | | | Tasted by braised on 3/2/2023: Opened with a funk of cork on the nose, some kind of reduction? The wine wasn’t corked on the palette and resolved into a balanced brunello within an hour or so. Medium structure and finish. Subtle tobacco and mushroom(?) showing age balancing the dark cherry fruits. Fine tannins. (2458 views) | | | Tasted by KarlO_CC on 2/11/2023 & rated 90 points: Still too young. Complex nose - cherries, tar and spices. Smooth, very spicy in the middle - long ending. Tannins are perfectly integrated. Very good now- extremely good in 5. (2379 views) | | | Tasted by braised on 1/12/2023: Medium body straight up the middle of the road brunello. Good juice. (2542 views) | | | Tasted by Maphill01 on 1/11/2023: No formal notes, decanted over the course of dinner. Really nice aromatics of cherry and sweet tobacco. Same on the palate. Some nice earthy elements in the background. Medium bodied, good structure and acidity, makes this suitable for further aging. But drinking very well today with some air. (1966 views) | | | Tasted by Colfarre on 11/19/2022: Drank at wine party (1416 views) | | | Tasted by trint96 on 10/30/2022 & rated 92 points: Perfecr finish about 5 sec and organized tanin flavor (1456 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 8/18/2022: Medium nose shows fresh earth, dried red fruits, wet rock, dried cedar. Palate matches, structure driven showing it's youth, medium plus tannins, notes of tart cherry, earth, herbal, a little tight (from Coravin), has the stuffing for aging. Overall nice and classic Brunello and somewhat affordable for the region. (1531 views) | | | Tasted by braised on 8/9/2022: Excellent showing, a massive step up in fruit, structure and nuance from the Rosso. Approachable now with a decant but sure to improve with age. (1390 views) | | | Tasted by BrunelloBob on 7/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Surprisingly approachable (1509 views) | | | Tasted by Lcoppes on 7/17/2022 & rated 92 points: Well and truly pleased with this bottle and it's youthful and very approachable. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, currant with a subtle layered fruit forward sweetness, great lively acidity and a pure and ravishing elegance to finish. Cedar, vanilla, rose and tobacco. Def upset to only have one more in the cellar - excellent Brunello. (1264 views) | | | Tasted by loantaka on 6/3/2022 & rated 89 points: Little off for whatever reason (1326 views) | | | Tasted by loantaka on 3/4/2022 & rated 90 points: Needs more bottle age (1670 views) | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 7/17/2021 & rated 90 points: Medium-deep reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & some floral notes, herbs, spices, minerals & a hint of cedar. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, mulberries & plums with spices, herbs, mushrooms & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but has the fruit & structure to continue development from further aging at which time it may merit a higher score. (2653 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
