Mid Ruby/garnet in colour. Earthy aromas - freshly tilled earth, red cherry, plum skins, menthol, leather and liquorice. The medium weight palate shows savoury cherry, spice and liquorice with fine persistent tannins. Drinking at its peak but will stay at this level for another 5 plus years. A brilliant match with pappardelle pasta, lamb, fresh basil and Parmesan (thanks Georgie). This wine was a treat, from an excellent year for Brunello - wish I had a few more bottles. — 9 days ago

Aging was more advanced than I thought it would be. Browning and stronger balsamic notes. — 2 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed with Wednesday night dinner of leftover ragu and tagliatelle. The 2008 Pertimali BdM, pours a deep ruby color with a nearly opaque, turbid core progressing out to a more orangish color with a watery rim. Medium+ viscosity with very light staining of the tears and signs of fine sediment (hence the turbidity). On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated cherry, curaçao, black tea, leather, porchini, Italian herbs, dusty earth, and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. The tannins are completely integrated at this point. Full-bodied. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and satisfying; and a sublime accompaniment to our meal. The 2008 is in a really great place right now (if you appreciate mature wines) and should maintain for at least a few years. Drink by 2028.

Pine tree, fresh cut herbs, balsam, licorice, dark red and black fruits. Medium plus body, high acid, balsamic finish. Two hour decant to shine, needs food. Underwhelmed for the price. — 4 days ago

Medium ruby , wide pink ruby rim . Ripe , quite high toned red cherry , strawberry , mint and herbs . High strict acidity , even with the ripe red fruits, herbal touches , cedar to balance. Quite sweet tannins and ok length , nicely balanced and delicately done. Successful for the vintage though not really long term or particularly complex . Drink from now over the next 5-10 years . — 18 days ago

Held this for 5yrs. Easily could have waited another 5+. Gave it a day of air and while delicious still a lot to unpack in this bottle. — 14 days ago
