Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

Medium-bodied with notes of dark cherry, plum, sage, and cloves on the nose. The palate has some dried fruit, cocoa, and anise as well. Unfortunately the finish is a little out of balance, with mineral notes, bitterness, and slight alcohol flavor overshadowing the fruit and spice. Still tasty overall though. — 2 days ago

Modus Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Open and breathe for 30-45 minutes. Excellent Tuscan blend, the Merlot and Cab integrate nicely with the Sangiovese. Cherry and blackberry flavors on the palette, fresh floral aromas on the nose. — a day ago

Tenuta Col d'Orcia

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Shoe leather on the nose. Red fruit on the front. Light tannic structure. Not much body. What body there is fades on the end. Short finish. Except for the slight scent of mouldy shoe leather on the nose, there’s nothing objectionable about this wine, but it’s weak and watery and without much character. Meh. But wait!…

I left the remainder in the bottle, and 24 hours later it had developed quite nicely. The nose had developed into unripe cherries—losing the moldy leather smell. Red fruit developed on the front, and the tannic structure improved. And it developed a longer finish. I upped my rating from an 8.6 to 9.0.

Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

We had a vertical tasting with 2007. Both excellent. 07 lighter in color. 07 a little more fragrant. Both had tastes of leather tobacco and black cherry. Both medium bodied. Going forward, I will drink Brunello sooner than 20 years. Some fruit got lost a bit — 22 days ago
