A bit young but I got excited! Definite and distinct minerality. Plum, clove, balsamic, vanilla, dark chocolate. Balanced and structured, with smooth, elegant tannins. A nice expression of 2012, everything I want in a Brunello!

Dec 27th, 2017Super complex wine. Very young but approachable. Need hours of decanting. A steal @$36.99

Feb 17th, 2017A young but complex wine for its age. Beautifully smooth, proved an excellent accompaniment for pasta.
Will no doubt age very well for some years to come

Oct 12th, 2018Another oak driven Brunello, but if I had to choose between this and the Gaja Brunello, it would be this. Remarkable brightness in the Castelgiocondo and a rather enjoyable mineral mid-palate.
NB: Definitely looked younger than the Gaja - more acid and tannins.

Jul 1st, 2018Very complex for a wine this young... light&smooth, needs quite a bit of decanting time. Will buy more for aging

Jun 23rd, 201817/20 (92/100) Сложный и элегантный аромат с нотами красных ягод, чернослива, ментола, орегано и шоколада. Довольно высокая кислотность и вяжущие, ещё чуть суховатые танины, которые, впрочем, не мешают наслаждаться вином. Просто отлично! (07.09.17)
