Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2005

Decanted for about 2 hours. Broken cork that seemed dried out and I couldn’t get out of the bottle. Filtered the wine into the decanter.

Wine had the classic Valdicava aromas that are unique and alluring. Almost like a Sangiovese / Cabernet blend and mix of dark fruit, cocoa. I can’t describe as much as I can always recognize it.

Wine was very good. Not the best expression of this wine but solid.

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

We had the 2010 Vintage on 5/26-27/25. An excellent Brunello with tastes and scents of red cherry, leather, herbs and spice. Tannins all smoothed out. Medium bodied, Old World and well balanced. This got better with time. — 2 days ago

Il Marroneto

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

An absolutely stunning wine now entering its drinking window! This is my all-time favorite producer. Extremely floral and elegant on the nose with rose, iris, Mediterranean herbs, fresh mint, balsamic, cedar spice, and loads of red fruit. I could smell this wine forever. The pallet confirms the red fruit notes on the nose with cherries, strawberries, raspberries, slightly dried, with impeccable balance of tannin and acidity. The mouthfeel is incredible. Luscious, but structured. The finish goes on for minutes. — 9 days ago

Same wine I tasted 2.5 years ago. Yea, old me. It did need some time and now it’s singing. Damn. I may be convinced. Chocolate, some caramel flavors and oak presence in a good way. Okay. I’m convinced. 2018 — 10 days ago
