Wow black fruit tight and big. Wild bright cherries nice acidity and mouthfeel. Rolling gripping tannins. Can benefit from a few more years in the bottle.

This one is a bit more generous with fruit and shows a slightly broader mid palate than the more northern cru. Still very nervy and tight with screeching acidity. Love the intensity, but wouldn’t dare open this for another 5 years.

A stellar bottle of Sangiovese. Elegant, with a dry finish

Classic profile of sour cherry and violet and a touch of spice.

Powerful Brunello that should be consumed only with steak. Very intense red wine, ending with very strong (but not at all harsh) tannins. The tannins provided an intense leathery finish. This wine could age for years more. Not much fruit, but the palette would be perfect with steak or lamb, but not other foods.

Beautiful Brunello. All the classic notes. A little more fruit forward than our favourite Ugolforte but excellent structure and refined palate. Not much can compare with any Brunello at its finest!

JL Brunello tasting 11/9/17. Ruby color and aromatic nose of darker berries and fruits and palate acidic and lively and long finish. Sandy soil and some French oak. $85.

Liked this least of the three special crus from Val Di Suga. Potentially much better with age.
