Beautiful deep ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, plum, anise, cocoa, coffee, minerals, and warm spice. On the palate, cherry, tart berry, strawberry, vanilla, baking spices, minerals, turning to jammy fruit and a very long finish of the same flavors. Full body, with a rather rich mouthfeel. 2015 vintage with notable tannins still present. Revisited later with food and started getting notes of coffee and chocolate on the palate. Wonderfully full bodied and rich wine. — 2 months ago

Single vineyard. Vino nobile di Montepulciano. Dark ruby coloration with translucency common to Sangiovese wines. On the nose, florals, dark berries and black cherry with sweet spices. On the palate, rich and complex, currants and cherry and the fruit side giving way to earthiness and minerality, vanilla, with some herbs and rose petal. Tannins are still strong but balanced. Elegant and complex wine with a long layered finish. 240 euros from the winery. — 4 years ago

Last night. Possibly wine of night though 2013 avignonesi nobile grande annati very close. Much better than the good 2013 fortuna brunello. Cherry tobacco very balanced and delicious. — 5 years ago

Fist big Napa cab vibes then opened into a velvety soft beauty… with a bit of tannin kick.
Very enjoyable.

メルローらしいプラムのニュアンス。
フワッとやわらいながらもコーヒーやチョコレート、ミント、ピーマン、甘草、スモーキー。
2018は強さが全面に出てたけど、19は調和がテーマなのかな。濃さはあれど、ギスギスしたところがなくていい。 — 4 years ago

From 0,375l.
So unique, so rare. Equally thick, concentrated and complex.
What a privilege to savour this elixir.
Dark nuances of dried fruit (dates, raisins), mocha, spicebox, orange marmelade, earlgrey tea and honeysuckle.
Endless finish....
Heartwarming and humbling...
A wine for contemplation. — 6 years ago

2015 / silky, smooth, velvetty texture, combined with good acidity. Fruit was more on the background, but a good combination with pasta+black truffle — 10 months ago

Second bottle - tasting after the first bottle was tainted. Ruby coloration. With typical Sangiovese translucency. On the nose, cherry, strawberry, vanilla. On the palate, cherry, strawberry, rich and full bodied. Hints of balsamic, espresso and chocolate and a long layered finish with espresso and dark chocolate. Very long finish. — 3 years ago

Ruby coloration with some translucency. On the nose, cherry, vanilla, warm spices, balsamic, leather and oak. On the palate, medium to fuller bodied, cherry, strawberry, vanilla, balsamic, oak and florals, with a certain softness and richness. Medium to longer finish. Good tannins. Revisited with a meal consisting of brasoto al Chianti con pappardelle. Beautiful pairing. Brought out notes of chocolate, smokiness and molasses and brought out the fullness and richness of wine. The wine and food really elevated one another. E180 at winery. — 4 years ago
