Marchesi Antinori

Pian delle Vigne Vignaferrovia Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2027

9.5

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. — 4 days ago

Podere Vecciano Pian delle Marne Famoso 2020: Aromatic. Light. Balanced. Fruity & fresh flavors of apple, apricot & grapefruit with a dry short finish. Great wine from a rare grape. Perfect for enjoying all things summer: Sunshine, watermelon & uva Famoso wine! Life is good! Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago
