Delightful rosso! Pleasant elegant nose of cherry strawberry and rose. Light bodied with many layers fresh strawberries dark cherries leather earth tobacco and mineral with fruit dominant on the front end and earthy and tannic notes on the finish. Softened on the finish after a couple hours of air. Many characteristics of a Brunello absent some of the body density and oak influences. — 15 days ago

Tassi Vigna Colombaiolo Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Tuscany, Italy

Light nose and light to medium in body.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing cherries, sweet strawberries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and light coffee.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This tasty 5 year old Brunello is starting to drink nicely now. Elegant and fruity. Smooth and soft.

Showing nice balance with a great mouthfeel.

Still young, and shows good potential to become a great wine. This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Reddish in color with medium intensity. A very pretty color.

Spicy nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cherries, black currants, plums, tobacco leaf, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Sangiovese from Montalcino, in Tuscany. Elegant with a big mouthfeel, and looks so much lighter than it feels.

This Brunello Riserva from the great 2016 vintage is still young, and needs a few more years of bottle time. However, already enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

Bellissimo! Love aged Friuli whites - gorgeous light golden color, fresh cut flowers, jasmine, lemon balm, citrus but sweet not tart, silky smooth mid palate, more exotic fruit as it warms, steely minerality- not fat but kinda full-figured, just a beautiful cut, all the acidic angularity softened w/age thru lingering finish. — 9 months ago

Elegant & mature. Slight bricking. Trace tannins on opening but blew off within a few hours and only mild on day 2. Nose is ripe plum and balsamic. Palate is soft and elegant with mouthwatering layers and layers of dark fruit, cherry, leather, undergrowth, red clay. Long soft satisfying finish. To be savored. — 5 months ago

Tassi Filare 25 Brunello di Montalcino 2019, Tuscany, Italy

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Nose of raspberries, strawberries, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco leaf.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, raspberries, spices, dark chocolates, peppercorn, coffee, earth, black tea and light wet leaves.

This is a gorgeous Brunello from a great vintage. Spicy, rich and engaging. Very unique and well balanced with nice complexity.

This Single Vineyard Sangiovese is a gorgeous wine. I am surprised by how much I love it. Probably the best Brunello I've had so far.

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Will pair nicely with food too. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years with good potential to become 96+ point wine.
