Merlot? I think so, with a ripe, red fruited noat and a fleshy, easily approachable texture. Delicious, but not very complex. Gift from a neighbor.

Sweet plum, wet potting soil, vanilla, cinnamon, smooth tannins yet structured and balanced. A nice gift from our neighbors who stopped by for some Christmas night hors d’oevres.

Spectacular, wonderful, awesome Brunello. Truly great. Rich, spicy and complex. Dark fruit abounds - plum skins and blueberry with cinnamon and nutmeg notes. Some dark currants and great earth notes. Top 10 wine. Brought this one back from Tuscany.

Lovely, medium weight Brunello that is drinking very well at age 12+. Juicy red cherries, red currants, and dried thyme are followed by light tannins in the finish. Less drying or acidic than some of its peers, which makes it especially easy to enjoy.

Traditional, small, with only 7 hectares of vines Collemattoni can meticulously farm how they want to produce a magnificent Brunello with depth, complexity, and purity.

With almost 12 years to settle in this is in a great place right now, shedding the youthful structure for mid-maturity and is leaning into tertiary aromas and flavors. Anyone who thinks aging wine is a waste of time and money just can't understand this kind of experience and should stick to easier wines.

Brunello and Bistecca, this 2004 is in such a good place right now, perfect with the beef.

Ripe cherries, cedar, rose petals, grippy tannins, nice acidity.
