Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenére, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Intense blackberry and cocoa aromas. Almost voluptuous-like on the palate with blue fruit, a hint of oak, balanced acid and well-integrated tannins. — 10 years ago
Opened a wedding present that's now got a bit of age on it. Bouquet and taste that's still passionate. Must be a good sign. — 11 years ago

5th growth Bordeaux. Full-bodied, well balanced with a pleasant array of cassis, plum and cedar. Firm tannins that round off towards the finish. Perfect steak pairing wine! — 12 years ago
Just gorgeous. 5th we've opened from the case. Starting to bloom beautifully. Bright red cherries, black berries, tobacco, a touch of leather. Wonderful compliment to a gorgeous Wagyu ribeye — 9 years ago

Classic 5th growth. — 11 years ago
2 years in oak barrels, followed by 2 years of bottle age, then released in the 5th year. Montalcino has made Brunello both a science and passion. In the most recent vintages, 2001, 2004, 2006, it didn't matter the vineyard ... Most are outstanding. But some stick out and this wine does just that. The fruit that initially hits the palate is mind blowing. How can this not be a Bordeaux blend? How can this just be Sangiovese? But it continues with the grace and balance of an old world red. Unfortunately, I haven't seen this bottle in at least a few years and I only have 1 bottle left. But for under $50, this definitely stands out! Cheers! — 12 years ago
