I love this Montalcino ($63 Davidson’s) and the general cherry-herbal-menthol flavor profile of Montalcinos. I’ve had this one before, and enjoyed almost as much as the last time. This time, it was paired opposite a barolo (also rated) that was probably even better. — 20 days ago

A little help turning that Tuesday corner. Indulgently flavored bang for the buck here. Boozy, but intense dark fruits and mature tannins with a nice long finish. — 6 years ago

I love this Montalcino ($63 Davidson’s) and the general cherry-herbal-menthol flavor profile of Montalcinos. I’ve had this one before, and enjoyed just as much. The highest Delectable rated of my recent Montalcino purchases, interestingly. — 2 months ago

✔️ Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
✔️ 산지오베제(Prugnolo Gentile) 100%
✔️ 맑은 가넷 컬러, 브리딩할수록 풍부해지는 과실향과 부드러워지는 질감이 특징
✔️ 오픈하자마자 마시면 입 안에 느껴지는 향은 약하지만, 코 끝에 새콤한 자두•딸기•얼씨한 오크•가죽•토바코•말린허브 향이 섞여 느껴지면서 열릴수록 더 맛있어지겠다 싶었음
✔️ 오픈하고 30분 지나자 스파이스(시나몬스틱) 향과 산미가 올라왔는데, 혀를 살짝 조이는 타닌도 느껴짐
✔️ 한 시간 지난 뒤 타닌이 풀어지면서 산미가 더 잘 느껴졌고, 다양한 과실향이 풍부하게 느껴짐
(크랜베리•딸기•시원한 허브•새콤한 플럼향)
✔️ 닭고기•소고기는 물론 육향과 토마토향이 진한 라구소스와도 잘 어울림

잘 만든 BDM의 가벼운 버전처럼 느껴져서 넘 만족스러움

Siena...

So this really never mellowed. Stayed pretty hot.. I think this could sit a while longer. Hopeful but when I drink a 2012 Ciacci Piccolomini, it's ready. So I don't know.

Big, jammy old world goodness, with mild tannins and a finish that echoes relentlessly around in the mouth. Mild spice box and wafts of dried leaves subtly compliment the whole package. Magnificent. — 6 months ago

2018 vintage. Medium body. Bunches of ripe, dark fruit in the flavors framed by spiciness and earth. Youthful and could use a half-decade to settle down/integrate just a bit. Pretty nice now tho. 3.27.24. — 7 months ago

Opened this last night, poured into decanter To around midnight, fell asleep, woke up a 4 am and said "shit, my Tenuta!" Covered decanter with plastic wrap. And now, 20 hours later, it's smooth...

It's shy of the Ciacci Piccolomini Pianrosso, and I actually give a nod to the non-reserva version (see prior rating). — 7 years ago
