Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2006
Still a baby, this is all primary fruit with gorgeous floral violets, a sweet leather note and a subtle savoriness. The palate is intense and a little less complex than the nose. Burly and intense, with wonderful acidity and firmly grained tannin this will do well with 5+ more years of bottle refinement.

A burly, intense wine, better on the second day, developing some notes of canned lychee or peach in syrup to go with the heavy Diesel/petrol notes dominating both nose and palate. Finish sort of drops right off, leaving a plastic/curiously blank note. Interesting but not perfect. — 10 years ago

Rad wine. Big and burly, but it wears it really well. Concentrated, fresh, and I love how it starts out with ripe fruit and finishes quite savory. — 10 years ago

So perfumed and amazing on the nose. Just wanted to keep smelling this wine. The palate still showed burly and young with a lot if tannic structure, even after being opened for a couple hours. Perfect example of a '95 that is just showing itself. — 11 years ago

Still very burly and tannic. Quite minerally. Took a couple hours to reveal any hint of fruit. In the end a solid value Bordeaux that needs more time. — 9 years ago

Not much on the nose, but an explosion of sweet oak, honeyed peaches, smoke, and grass on the palate. Big and burly for this style, but very satisfying. — 10 years ago

Good Evening fellow wine lovers. Tonight we are drinking one my very favorite wines, 2010 Burly Cabrenet Sauvignon. WOW. Before we begin, I want to thank Bernice and Hank McCrorie for bringing us their amazing wines. Bernice actually talks to me via email and on the phone when I call them. No other wine maker has ever done this. She's from Sonoma County and he's from Asheville North Carolina. This couple has made an amazing product. Please visit their website www.Burlywines.com The cork is perfect with almost no absorption ring. The color is opaque deep purple / black. The legs are long and slow. The bouquet is blackberry and raspberry aromas. The initial palate is so buttery smooth you won't believe it's this big! There are flavors of black current, blackberries, and fig. The new oak barrel aging gives it a hint of spice with a smooth finish that of a green apple. It is mildly dry leaving absolutely no aftertaste. All you can think of is MORE! Before you know it, your two glasses down and telling yourself to slow down. This is a perfect wine. It's a bit pricey but so worth the expense. I give it 98 points and a 10 on the delectable scale! But as much of this wine as you can. Also try the Chardonnay! You will change your mind about Chards if your a Pinot Grigio fan!

As one who LOVES Latakia pipe tobacco among his burly and as a boy I just loved those black licorice pipes that bit like browned flour, this is for me. Glorious! — 12 years ago
