2018: starting to drink well despite youth. Good measure of earthy edge keeps the fruit and tannins in balance. $40 sale at VR — 2 months ago

Medium ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of cherry, sage, tar, vanilla, and violet. Medium-plus body, with medium-plus tannins and high acidity. Lengthy finish. Meaty bouquet surprisingly similar to Northern Rhone Syrah. Rounded and plush. — 2 months ago

The wine is full bodied wine, on nose its big strawberries, vanilla notes, leather and oak. On palate, acidity is medium+, chewy, creamy, firm structure, long finish, big fruits of course. This is a beautiful wine, considering 2018 is not an easy year for montalcino. Decant time is 1 hour, enjoy it now or keep it for 2-3 years. Cheers!! 🍷 — 16 days ago

Dark ruby color. Deep aromas of dried cherries, prunes, orange zest, tobacco and leather. The bold palate features dried dark cherries, ripe plum, black currant, coffee, mint, baking spices and vanilla. Long and velvety finish. Very concentrated and bold yet the tannins and texture are quite soft. Fresh acidity and wonderful balance. Full bodied and lush. Excellent! Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — a month ago

2018 vintage. Medium body. Bunches of ripe, dark fruit in the flavors framed by spiciness and earth. Youthful and could use a half-decade to settle down/integrate just a bit. Pretty nice now tho. 3.27.24. — 2 months ago

If anything, it’s now better than the last time I had this vintage. It was balanced, broad and fun. Still lots of fruit — just amazing body and aroma without any distractions. That’s how Brunello should be! — 15 days ago

Really very nice and giving quite generously even at this relatively young age. Good sign for 2019 in general. Great depth, nice darker red fruit and flowers, and good acid on the finish with some real seamlessness. Quite enjoyable. — a month ago

Dubbele magnum, mooie helder, licht rood/oranje. Prettige geur, maar dun van smaak, veel zuren en weinig beleving in de afdronk. — a month ago

Serious wine this. Oaky with dark fruits and tobacco. Already balanced despite its youth. Definately not one of the lighter Brunellos. I loved this but drinkers seeking lithe, acidic elegance will be disappointed. — 2 months ago
