SangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): Another fantastic bottle of Cerbaiona tonight -- they're all very similar with that rusticity and dusty, brick oven quality. Darker fruit, but with an ethereal quality that gives this plenty of lift. A bit of a sappy quality to the fruit here, but never overbearing or heavy, even for a moment. A stark contrast to the clumsy Casanova di Neri alongside.

good, not great. I felt like the fruit was gone and the alcohol was dominant. EG said it would return to balance in another 5 years but i wasnt so sure

A very impresoce wine - such a long aftertaste - where you layers on layers - the fruitcis sout cherries, cranberries , plums and blackberries. We also get tobaccco and leather - medium tannins and acidity - the Wine is indeed Great and this time we Will increase pur rating to 97 - one of the best Cerbaiona I have had.

Incredible, boastful nose of macerated cherries, toasted spice and herbs, dried florals, and a bit of balsamico. Lots of youthful power and structure though it’s all so integrated and harmonious with an ethereal appeal. Blockbuster Brunello.

Bisato with friends: Oh wow, like a warm summer breeze through a Tuscan pine forest, pine resin giving way to mint. Much more powerful and structured than the 1999, still early and on the upswing. I like this brawnier face of Brunello.
