Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
2009 Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino
This week I had the pleasure of having the wine above which surprised me a bit. I am beginning to like these Brunello's.
The wine has a nice fruit forward nose with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, clay and dried roses.
On the palate are expressive fruit of tart cherry, red plum, strawberry, licorice, white pepper and forest floor.
There is a full bodied full mouth feel, medium + Acidity and Medium + firm silky tannins.
A very nice bottle of wine and enjoyable to drink.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Lovely brunello, however she was still youthful and will spectacular the next dozen years. Earthy with dark fruits and a hint of smoke.

Had the 2009 to celebrate Sasha’s 32nd at St Anselm in DC. Austere is the right word here. Absolutely classic, so reserved. I think I could have drank the entire bottle given how light end smooth. Excited for more BS experiences

Starts very austere but with excellent acidity. After 45 minutes is a more open and textbook Brunello from the emblematic Tenuta Greppo. Annata 2009 is an excellent Brunello that is good to drink now if decanted or even better in 5 years time. Classical style in a polished, understated way. Recommended.

A beautiful wine- still very young but powerful and elegant. Oh yes Sangiovese at its finest! Can benefit from a few more years in the bottle.
