Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Initially very backward but after letting it slow-ox for about two hours this transformed into a fully expressive and wild beauty. Mulberries, cherries, espresso, oregano...oh my. Really digging this. On the palate it’s dark cherries, cocoa, espresso, minerals; finish is long...almost savory. The purity and texture is quite compelling. Built to last.

Red fruit with notes of leather Good tannins medium finish

Opened on Nov 17, 2023. Was a little rough at first then opened up beautifully. Wow, glad I held onto this bottle so long!

Classic brunello. Dark fruit and a hint of leather and sandalwood. Big and bold but well balanced. Super long finish. Nice.

ロッソやキャンティが薄旨な造り手のブルネッロということで、その辺りを期待して飲んだが、結構な凝縮感と果実味。もちろん、エレガンスも旨味もしっかりあって、美味しいことには違いないんだけど、サン・ジュゼッペ的な仕上がりを期待していたので少し残念。
もう少し寝かせても良かったのかもね。

This one is well developed right now. Soft silky tannins, complex flavors.

Fine Italian wine we drank in Italy

Very solid drink with pasta. Dry and full bodied. Enough earth to keep you interested
