Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese


Dark tawny color. Great Brunello nose. Notes of black fruit, dried brush, some dusty earth and some wood. Tannins integrated nicely and a well balanced delivery. In a great spot.

Dark scarlet, opaque. Great nose. Notes of black cherries, plums, an old oak desk, some mocha and a hint of menthol. Silky in the mouth. Sappy fruit. Nice performance tonight.

Dark scarlet ruby. Almost opaque. Nice perfume with notes of blackberries, rose petals, hickory and a little menthol. Very big in the mouth. Lots of fruit with plenty of structure to match. Very nice.

A lot of new oak on this monster Sangiovese. Tastes like a Napa Cult Cab to me.

Brunello that is right in that prime spot of secondary development and residual fruit. This continued to develop over several hours. Really interesting.
