Dry with strong tannins; tart cherries, red currants, bramble, mineral, funk; subtle oak, spice, and vanilla on the nose; opens up over time

Awaits in the wine fridge. Haven’t drank it yet, just documenting and passing time. Per the wine merchant in Cortona, Italy, reputed to be one of the finest winemakers for Brunello.…picked up in Cortona in 2019, waiting out the Brunello countdown…rating is a guess.

May 18th, 2022Surprise! Still haven’t opened it so rating it is a “hope”…think I may have opened a bottle previously…was too soon but hints of greatness linger. These need 10 yrs+ but I think it’s time...2010 Brunello by a famed better winery…bought in Cortona, Italy, next door town to the Montalcino-Montepuciano twin towns of great Italian wine. Resisting the temptation is like resisting “The Borg”. (A Star Trek reference…where are you Capt’n Kirk?)

Nov 2nd, 2021Another highly rated Brunello that’s very good early - now - but still needs aging for greatness …if drinking today, decant.

This wine is aging really well. Chocolate and dark red fruits with some animal features on the nose. On the palate, tannins are smoothing out, ripe plums and berries. Classing up spaghetti and meatballs!

Gets better as I drink it. Dark around the edges, I was worried that decanting would over oxidize it. But it did get better. Still testing. Very smooth for 2 years in oak.
