Smooth, finesse, ruby red berries. — 2 days ago
Medium garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of dark cherries, forest floor, anise and crushed stones. Flavors of black cherries, balsamic vinegar, black licorice and dried leafy herbs. Touch of vanilla on the long lasting (dusty) finish. Firm (but nicely softened) tannins. Medium bodied. Great combination of complexity and texture. Beautifully delicate. Thank you Kasey and Petey for sharing this bottle. — a month ago

Wow. This was so good. Forgot what a fantastic Brunello can be. Took about an hour to open up. Beautiful nose and so much nuance — 2 months ago
Light ruby in color.
Stinky on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
This 5 year old Brunello is still young but already delicious, and will continue to get better in the next 15 years.
A great vintage for this region, and it is showing.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
Sangiovese grapes were fermented in cement tanks, and aged for 30 months in oak barrels.

Typical BdM Sangiovese with a velvety finish. — 3 days ago
Leather and a hint of anise on the nose. Strong red fruit on the front. Medium tannic structure with cool mint undertones on the mid palate but stronger high notes crowd them out for a strong very long finish. Nothing out of balance in this tipple. Tasty and unique. — 5 days ago

A top quality Brunello - rich and succulent - ripe red cherry, savoury spices, touch of mint - many influences. A classy aromatic Brunello from a good vintage with many years to go. My first of the 2013s. It will be interesting to see how the other bottles develop over the next 5 to 10 years. — a month ago
Shine on this beautiful diamond. Opened this magnum 10/10/26, the 2001 is just showing so nicely. Just early and lovely, fine leather, soft silky tannins, dark cherries, violets, eucalyptus. Such a elegant long finish — a month ago
10 euros by the glass at Osteria Ì Canto Ghibellino,Empoli, with Curly. Sensational value. Just opened, probably doing an injustice. — 2 months ago

Medium ruby color with garnet highlights and a slight orange rim. Aromas of dried red berries, earth, smoke, leather and sweet spice. Flavors of dried cherries and currants, black olives, black licorice, tobacco and woody herbs. Long and lingering finish. Well integrated smooth tannins and bright refreshing acidity. Quite savory, earthy and well concentrated. Beautifully aged. Thank you so much for sharing, Ron B! — 3 days ago
