8.5

Not the best Brunello vintage (Biondi-Santi made no riserva in 2005) but a very fine Sangiovese nonetheless. No rush obviously to drink up but the wine is already showing quite well now. — 11 years ago

Quite forward (as are most 11s) with some sweet lashings of oak and very good fruit. — 11 years ago

Decent and quaffable but nothing more than that. — 11 years ago

Drinkable but nothing to write home about. — 11 years ago

8.6

More like a Burgundy than a typical Marcassin. Hedonistic as always but quite fine. — 11 years ago

9.3

Quite forward and pretty. Lacks a bit of stuffing for a VR lieux dit however. Drink over the short term. — 11 years ago

8.5

Bought at the winery in 2008. Still young but with four hours decanting is surprisingly accessible. Thought I was pulling the cork on a 2005 which is a much inferior vintage at biondi santi — 11 years ago

8.4

A bit of oak plus good fruit and moderate acidity. At $30 a good value in Brunello. — 11 years ago

Plenty of time left but this is already showing quite well. — 11 years ago

9.6

A very surprising Savigny. This wine punches far above its weight. Quite impressive in context. — 11 years ago
