La Braccesca (Antinori)

Bramasole Cortona Syrah 2012

30 mins of air, just opened not decanted.
Very nice indeed though with burgers at home. You can sense the viscosity on the nose, black and blue fruits, licorice and some feral meaty bits in the background.
Drinks exceptionally smoothly, most of the tannins resolved. The viscosity on the palate is balanced by enough acidity to keep it in balance. Black/blue fruits repeat with a hint of chewiness, coating is an understatement. Long finish. Leather and coal tar(?). Interesting that these have such a decently long lifespan. When kept on some ice/water during the meal, it improves as a whole as the temperature drops a few degrees. The thickness recedes a bit and acidity shines up front.
Shame I have no more.

Antica Terra

Antikythera Pinot Noir

Nose - Plum, candied orange, peat moss and wood. Mouthfeel - Velvety smooth up front, ending in a subtle pleasant astringency. Main flavors - Stone fruit and earth with a delicate acidic ending with a touch of dryness, like you get when you lick the pit of a nectarine, peach or plum. Overall - a gorgeously complex and lovely Pinot!! 1 million out of 10! — 18 days ago

Pian delle Vigne Vignaferrovia Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2027

I usually don’t bother to report on the cork, but the cork in this bottle was stained a deep purple – almost black. I sniffed it and the intensity of its bouquet told me that this wine would be luscious. Herbal (sage & oregano) with a hint of rich umami solidity (almost like bacon). All from a cork! In a glass, the nose is less intense. Oregano and sage dominate. The “meatiness” of cork scent fades way back. Fruit forward without being syrupy — black cherries. Medium tannic structure, with hints of dark chocolate at the lower end of the spectrum balanced by a pleasing earthy minerality in the high notes. Unfortunately, the finish fades quickly. If this wine had a long finished, I’d probably give it at 9.8, but as it is a 9.5 will have to suffice. — 2 months ago

Golden coloration. On the nose, lemon, brioche, minerals. On the palate, nice creamy texture, fuller body, a touch of earthiness, but primarily long lasting citrus and lemon notes with minerality on the palate that finishes strong with those 3 notes ending with a crush of a acidity. — 3 months ago
