Ridolfi Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2017

Aromas of leather, wet soil, black cherry and menthol. The lush palate features red and black cherry and strawberry fruit with hints of orange zest, black olives, balsamic vinegar and baking spices. A bit of vanilla on the long and lingering finish. Well structured tannins and abundant acidity. Solid. — 22 days ago

Fanti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Vintage 2012 | I was overwhelmed by this 2012, feminine finesse and elegance. So well balanced. Made me so happy I decided to buy 2016 as well. Gems in the cellar. Paired with a Flammenkuchen with truffle. Lovely. 🥰 — 2 months ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Wine group dinner (SJOS), a ton of wines and great conversations with no time for detailed notes. There were notes of dried figs, candied cherries, hazelnuts, leather, and chocolate. Very nice long finish. Happy I have a few bottles in my cellar — 2 months ago

Altesino

Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Grosso! Might be too big if I wasn’t tasting twenty-five other wines. Still, it was quite nice and I would revisit w something tomato. — 19 days 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 almost as much as the last time. This time, it was paired opposite a barolo (also rated) that was probably even better. — a month ago

Cerbaiona di Diego Molinari Brunello di Montalcino 2016

I thought this was amazing. Great nose, flavors and finish. Loved the entire glass. And when they gave me the remnants even better. So close to WOTN. — 3 months ago

Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

An outstanding bottle similar to the previous times I have had it. 3 hour slow ox and then decanted at dinner. Went brilliantly with white truffles! Had the Caprili with the veal and the body may have suited the veal but the Soldera was the WOTN — 12 days ago

Tenuta Il Poggione

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

2019 opened September ‘24. Unusual nose — briars and turmeric. The light red fruits on the front are quickly subsumed by a complex wave of tannins. I detect dark chocolate in the base notes. Orange zest in the high notes. There’s some other stuff happening in the initial tannic rush that I can’t identify, but they’re yummy. These desperate elements are held together by an initially soft tannic structure — but a stronger mineral component starts at the back of the mid pallet and it provides a long tasty finish.

Personally, I think it was best right out of the bottle. After the first glass, I let it open up for an hour, and it got a little less interesting as some of the.subtleties disappeared — but still very tasty! That suggests to me that it might not hold up to a long cellaring, but I am a bit perverse in that I like my wines young.

Casanova di Neri

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Delicious wine. Complex and juicy with black- and redcurrants. Top vintage shinning through. If i was being picky there was slightly too much alcohol but that is really nit picking. — 2 months ago
