Yes, my previous vintage was the 2006, that was even better

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2023

Very delicate and balanced rosso. Drinks well now but could benefit from a year or two cellaring. Very fine tannins. Blood orange and slate, highly perfumed. Delicious from a top producer. — 7 months ago

La Palazzetta (Flavio Fanti)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

With some of the entry-level Brunelli like this one, it’s a tough call when to open them. In my experience many try to play in the big leagues by overextracting. This one’s always been on the tannic, somewhat astringent side, so you want to wait to allow the tannins to drop and for it to settle down, but you don’t want to wait so long that the fruit dries up. I think this is about as good as it’s going to get. The fruit is still there, and the astringency is abating a bit. Still tannic. Good acids. Should go well with a simple pasta with tomato and sausage sauce.

UPDATE: After 24 hours under a vacuum seal, it was so astringent as to be nearly undrinkable, to my taste.

I got to enjoy the 1997 La Palazetta Riserva back in 2020 and it was still showing signs of youth. I loved it.

@Jay Kline - I vacuum-sealed it and revisited 24 hours later. Oxidative notes were prominent and it was so astringent as to be undrinkable

La Mannella Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Celebrating 47 a month later (post colonoscopy and 10 year anniversary celebrations). Staple favourite with my favourite person. We wanted a Gianni Brunelli and said so to the Somm; he then suggested this approachable delight. Great, great bottle. Happy and reasonable (for Otto e Mezzo!). ❤️ — a year ago
