Second time trying this from the 2015 vintage, first enjoyed five years ago. This was my Christmas Day wine, when it’s always hard to really appreciate or concentrate on a wine what with everything else going on! I ordinarily go for familiar favourites from the Rhône, or aged Bordeaux. Anyway, this Brunello was still super macho, austere and in need of either more time in bottle or some very rustic, Tuscan food. Or both! — 7 days ago

Nose smells quite musty and older than it is. The fruit is quite secondary and relatively seamless. — a month ago

Based on other reviews here I decided to open, decant and wait 2 hours. Great advice! This was electric after 2+ hours. Pungent, powerful and delicious! Rich deep dark color and strong earth and mature cherry notes. Still active and pacing in the glass. This was the best bottle of the ‘16 so far for me. Definitely in its enjoyment zone. — 14 days ago

Followed a trio of Barolo with truffles and a magnificent dinner

This bottle paired with chocolate mousse and was a bit unfair but it held up and was a good change of pace to provide more grip

Overall nice balance of body depth and fruit — 4 days ago

2018 Vintage of a legendary large producer. Great balance, a bit too tannic for years aging and perhaps requires decanting, breathing. Having visited the winery a few years ago - beautiful Tuscan facility, would like to say more nice things but the Summary is: nice Brunello. Probably a decent value, but only time will tell — 18 days ago

茶褐色だが、熟成香はなし。もっと甘美な感じかと思えば、意外とエレガント。
凛とした雰囲気で、溶けんだタンニン。サンジョベーゼらしいスミレの香り、ミント、タバコ、鉱物的なニュアンス、プルーン、醤油、血のような鉄っぽさ。
もっと果実の乗ったガッツリな感じかと思えば、意外と？エレガント。
ボルドーグラスとブルゴーニュグラス、両方試してみたが、中盤以降は断然ブルゴーニュ。 — 3 hours ago

Ah, an old favorite jumped off the wine list to us….the perfect accompaniment to truffle tagliatelle! 😋
Tasting notes: 18 years old but could still age much longer, smooth, fresh red fruits (jammy) but a touch leathery/chewy towards the end of the bottle. — 8 days ago

The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino, her signature is on the label! Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate sour cherry, plum & radpberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine slightly drying tannins, long ending with spicy herb oak finish. Nice, drinks well, decant! — a month ago
