Vintage 1975 | Perfect balance, enormous rich, best wine tasted this year. Tasted next to Barolo and Rioja, the Brunello impressed me most. What a wine!

Traditional. Old school.
Mar 6th, 2022After opening two other bottles from the same vintage that were bad (one slightly corked - drinkable but no fun to be reminded of TCA every sip; and the other just flat) - this third bottle delivered all that could be expected including a haunting minerally-flowery nose with troufles and forest herbs; an elegant silky mouthfeel, and a looooong most refined finish!

Tough to pass this up for 23 euros at a mountain town supermarket. Showed really well. Classic brunello notes, good persistence and balance

It was Weston’s hosting today for the Wednesday Wine Committee and probably the most informative lunch to date. Though everything was tasted “blind” as usual, we were all given a list of grapes to choose from for the whites and the reds, since they were all meant to be very similar.
Debates between calling this the Sangiovese or Nebbiolo. Acidic and lots of tar. Ended up guessing Sangiovese based on the tannic structure of wine number three. ✔️
