Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

This Brunello is a bit young, holding the promise of future greatness.

Medium garnet; medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, dusty earth, herbs; dry, medium plus acid, medium smooth tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium finish, moderately complex

Nice floral notes, dark fruit, minerals, balsamic

Lovely incense/black cherry nose with plenty of umami action. In the mouth this is pretty compact and un compelling but with promise. Strike a pose (hold)

This hit the spot. Ripe color. Low concentration. Light nose. Very refreshing. Low tannins. Short finish. Enjoying with beef ribeye!

Not much body. Would not buy again

Solid but didn’t open like I expected. Typical dusty sangiovese with ripe fruit and tannins on the gums. Strong but nothing super special.

Yeah. Can’t say I didn’t like it but also not that it was special. A bit out of balance. Very acidic that overruled the fruit underneath. Had expected more of a concert from a wine of nearly 9 years old and a good vintage.

Christmas Eve at Jimmy’s. Light fruit.
