Altesino
Brandy di Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese


No doubt about it opened too early, but I knew that ahead of time and this bottle wasn’t meant for the cellar. Not as good as the 2006 Altesino but no doubt would have been in another 5+ years.

Bitter disappointment. Likely over the hill.

Not a ton to say... It had the underlying chocolate that I love. Nose was underwhelming. Very solid but the complexity of Ciacci or Cassanova wasn't there.

Traded with the Colonel... Now this wasn't bad at all... Not an "aia," but not bad either....
