Riserva Nipozzano Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend 2019

Deep ruby in color; cherries, dried herbs, and tabacco on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like tart cherries, oregano, and crushed gravel. Leslie, Jason, and Nellie say it's ok. Dante likes it. I love it. — 7 days ago

Solaia Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Second bottle from this vintage. Much better experience this time. Last wasn’t bad and perhaps was just an off night/bottle. This Solaia was packing significant range and depth. The fruit was beautifully structured and was so well rounded. Seemed more mature than just 5 years. Excellent. — 22 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

2019 opened September ‘24. Unusual nose — briars and turmeric. The light red fruits on the front are quickly subsumed by a complex wave of tannins. I detect dark chocolate in the base notes. Orange zest in the high notes. There’s some other stuff happening in the initial tannic rush that I can’t identify, but they’re yummy. These desperate elements are held together by an initially soft tannic structure — but a stronger mineral component starts at the back of the mid pallet and it provides a long tasty finish.

Personally, I think it was best right out of the bottle. After the first glass, I let it open up for an hour, and it got a little less interesting as some of the.subtleties disappeared — but still very tasty! That suggests to me that it might not hold up to a long cellaring, but I am a bit perverse in that I like my wines young.
