Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Tough as nails @ 1st, this opened n2 a gorgeous, floral nose that surprisingly reminiscent of #PinotNoir!

This seemed like a young wine, very bright fruits; blackberry, black cherry, some leather and flowers as well.

Nicely balanced, mid-weight brunello. Not top notch but satisfying.

Smells like a forest of wonderfully dirty cherries covered in earth. Nice pipe tobacco and some sweet chocolate.This ‘10 is fresh a Tuscan Daisy, nice balance of acidity/tannin, and great company for herb rubbed flank steak with homemade black olive aioli. There’s some spice around the edges and a long finish to contemplate. Nicely put together. From a 375ml.
Thanks @ FirstBottle

Cranberry with an herbaceous nose. What it lacks in fruit, it more than makes up for in complexity.

We had the 2010 Vintage on 10/28-29/22. Black cherry and even some cedar on the bouquet. Red cherry, raspberry almond and spice on the palate. Medium bodied, still tannic with a short finish. Too many better Brunellos.

Trying to enjoy some spring weather before the rain and cold comes back tomorrow. Doing it with a well aged, easy drinking Brunello.

From 375ml.
Decanted 1 hr.Brown w ocher rim.
N: Big carob/chocolate/ woodland.Cherries in background, humus, freshly dug.,lots of fall leaves.
P: Smacking acidity, but integrated, pomegranates, Thick but not cloying, envelops your palate. Ripe strawberries,
Great effort plus 12 years of age. It ping pongs around your soft palate deliciously.

From 375ml.
N: Chocolate covered morello cherries. Deep nose, sappy pine forest, damp. A hint of clove. Balsam.
P: That’s one fully engaging wine, Deep and bright, a world of browns. Really refreshing, and unctuous, woodlands, prunes, cinnamon. It goes on.

Totally mellowed and some nice. Would not improve. Went well with ossobuco.
