Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Vintage 2001 / A Point. Refinement in smell and taste. Truffle. Such a pleasure to drink after years of cellaring and to see that the wine delivers. Paired with Shitake and onion, flambé with cognac, with butter, cream and caserecce/pasta. And grated parmiggiano cheese.

Feb 23rd, 2019I won this random brunello in a charity auction as part of a lot with some Bdx and Burg that I actually wanted. Popped it tonight with spaghetti bolognese and it was actually pretty damn enjoyable. Big wine for sure, but smooth and not too hot despite 14.5% alcohol. Ripe raspberry and black cherry, dried fig, cedar, potpourri, some sweet wood that’s well integrated. Polished and fruit-forward, not exactly what the cool kids are drinking but I had a decent time.

Reddish purple. Dark and opaque. Black cherry fruit, menthol, hickory, and a little anise in the nose. Day one this a bit harsh in the mouth with nice fruit and a dry finish. Day 2 its more open but the finish is more subdued. Nice but needs food or creamy cheese with it.

No decant brings a bit of brett which blew off quickly to reveal earth, cherry and plum, and some barrel notes. About at peak maturity I would think. Paired great with tonites pasta bolognese.

Very fruity and juicy with lots of acid. Color starting to change but still very fresh flavors ... dark cherries and a bit of chocolate.
