Powerful nose of leather, rose, violet, blackberry, black cherry carrying through to a similar palate with notes of graphite and mushroom. Still a ways to go with plenty of fruit concentration and grippy tannin. Better with food but a delight as always

Mar 31st, 2017Had it December 2011.
At its peak, good fruit, good expression of Montalcino Sangiovese in a vintage that remains difficult.
Enjoyable, but not unforgettable.

Aug 13th, 2016Firmer in structure and texture, showing a lot of complexity and nuance from the single site terroir.

Jan 27th, 2016Really really like this wine. Such a good Brunello and offers better quality to price ratio than most. Had the 2017 in September and this was just as good with a slightly more developed flavour. Highly recommend!
