5/27/2024 - Portland Seth Likes this wine: 92 pointsBlack cherry, cedar, vanilla, dried herbs. More body than most Chiantis but also more oak, which is not yet fully integrated but it's close, will probably drink at peak starting in four years. |

5/24/2024 - wgilbert3 Likes this wine: 90 pointsExcellent full bodied CC, nice combination of red fruit with lots of sophistication; leather, plum, some spice plus typical earthy/dusty notes. Pairs very well with Italian food, as expected. Good stuff for sure |

2004 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino CerretaltoSangiovese more |
5/27/2024 - spendergast Likes this wine: 98 pointsDecanted 2 hours. A big wine with highly extracted fruit, notes of black raspberry, plum, cassis with hints of game and forest floor. Tannins are well integrated but still prominent. I think this wine has yet to peak. Paired with smoked game meat pizza. |

2022 Torciano Chianti Crete RosseSangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
5/26/2024 - Bodyfxr wrote: 85 pointsSlow oxed for 30 minutes. Dark garnet red in hue. The nose was demure with some red fruit and light floral notes. Medium bodied on the palate. Cherry and red plum along with hints of barrique dominate. Tannins are barely present and acid is low. The finish is short and soft. A good quaff and an easy drinker. This wine is not made to be laid down, so drink up. |

5/27/2024 - Michael T. Zoppo Likes this wine: NRBeautiful, elegant Sangiovese in the style of Montevertine. A bit young, but if you can take a bit of tannin, drinking very well right now. |

5/27/2024 - mks83 Likes this wine: 89 pointsI was expecting a baby Brunello, and this was clearly not, in a charming/determined way. Dark garnet color with some clarity. The nose is very mild, consisting of cassis liquor, cooked cherry, and burnt tire. In the mouth, richer than the nose, the fruit draws gentle convex curve - staring off round/gentle, intensifies gradually, and fades away towards rather short finish. The tannins are medium with powdery texture, but comes with delay as if wrapped in a wafer paper. Medium (-) acidity is totally hiding in the background. As a red, this is a simple wine that lacks substance. However, if I consider this as dark-dark rose with additional tannins (the wine has focused purity that could pass as rose), this is such a voluptuous one. Inexplicably good. 89-90. |

5/14/2024 - UpfromtheCellar wrote: 90 pointsSaving this until 2024 paid off. The "grapey-ness" of the last bottle I opened (2021) has matured out and its become a silky earthy cherry delight. |

2021 Tenuta di Capraia Chianti ClassicoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
5/27/2024 - BernieMSY Likes this wine: 92 pointsPopped and poured. Very dark Ruby color, tobacco-tinged nose. The wine is a bit tight, as one might expect from a youthful Chianti Classico, but it is quite promising. Lots of dark fruit, with lot interesting tertiary no roast meat, Tara, and Mami Leiden notes. Weine has an excellent QPR, and has lots of upside. |

5/27/2024 - trumpet60201 Likes this wine: 92 points2nd of 3. This hasn't advanced much since my 2022 bottle (12/11/22 below) - very similar presentation and aging well. I think my prior 94 was a bit high for this, but it's a very nice wine that all of my dinner guests enjoyed. |

5/27/2024 - oropeza wrote: NRPlum and peach with licorice, bell pepper and earth and slight vanilla on the core before a medium-lengthed finish on tanni. Tasted blind I'd have called Loire Cab Franc. Interesting from a _didn't know they made wines like that in Italy_ perspective but not really sold otherwise. |

5/27/2024 - GNWine Likes this wine: 96 pointsMight be just past the very peak of maturity. Still has well definitely defined primary fruit flavors and aromas if black cherry, black plum, cassis. Herbs and mint. Lots of tertiary characters of fig, raisin, leather, slight cured tobacco. Perfect balance. Buttery smooth tannins. |

2015 Contucci Vino Nobile di Montepulciano MulinvecchioSangiovese more |
5/27/2024 - Bottle Dog Likes this wine: 92 pointsStarting to brick a little, mainly around edges. The nose comes across a little funky, like minty mushrooms. Medium body, quite acidific outweighing the tannins, in a fresh way. Enjoy this over nest 10 years. Not terribly interesting, but a nice refreshing Sangiovese that I think would be welcome at any summertime lunch. |

5/25/2024 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 92 pointsNoes of black cherry, vanilla bean and an oaky note. Dusty black cherry and black fruit on the palate with olive and loads of dried herbs. Smooth tannins on the finish with plenty of oak melding with the black plum fruit. This oak has come around on this wine. |

5/26/2024 - prism wrote: 95 pointsPopped and poured (brought to a dinner, two on a bottle, which we finished). paired with cheese & cracker apps and a grilled salmon entrée. This deserved a two-hour decant; a little disjointed at first, the last sip was the best. An outstanding Red Bordeaux Blend and a stellar QPR. Cedar notes, very fine tannins, elegant fruit, lovely balance. Drink or hold. |

5/24/2024 - chablis28 wrote: 93 pointsSlox-oxed for 3+ hrs prior to dinner in Riedel BDXs & btl. Drinking great with almost 17yrs under its belt! Everything in balance with plenty of lovely red fruit augmented by spice, cedar and underbrush. Elegant, lifted, tasty and enjoyable w/ Nita's homemade pizzas! My last of 4. No ill effects from the ripe vintage. Give this plenty of air though if you want the maximum it has to give. 93+ |
