@Jan de Weerd recently reviewed a bottle that sounded like it might be advancing quickly, so I decided to pull my last bottle of this. Luckily, it’s drinking beautifully. Gorgeous nose shows all sorts of complexity. Earth, roasted root vegetables, macerated dried cherry, warm gravel. Rich and soft in the mouth. Totally resolved. I can’t imagine this getting any more pleasurable than the state it’s in. There’s still some significant but soft tannin, but it’s so good now I wouldn’t wait any more than a year or two to enjoy.

Mar 31st, 2024An intensely red-fruited Brunello. Nose has reams of deep, tangy red fruit. A bit of warm spice and old leather. A warm sandstone note. Broad and deeply flavored, it’s got intense fruit in the mouth, which turns a bit savory in the finish. Tannins are present in noticeable amount but relatively soft, with intense acids as well. This strikes me as wine that will be up-front and very enjoyable for the next few years, rather than one that has the brooding depth to cellar for the long term.

Конкретно битум и ягоды, клубника, вишня, минеральность. Вкус полный, отличная структура и кислотность. 16.5/20 (91/100)

Classic vintage for Brunello black tar truffle and dark cherry fruit. Smooth silky but still has some tannins needs time to open

Enjoyed this Brunello at Flora in New York City. I was pleasantly surprised. It is very big & bold, but tasty if you take your time with it.

Very nice Brunello... cherries, truffle, leather, nice finish. This wine is at it's peak, don't expect more of it.

I've yet to meet a brunello I don't like. Savory truffle like qualities with violet licorice and underripe cherry fruit w just a touch of cranberry.

I shared the magnum with my roommate for his birthday. A little overripe fruit up front that kind of turned into an old leather and dusty kind of feel. Great body with many layers that ended with some very grippy tannins.
