2012. Honestly for the money, this is great. A killer house wine. Classic Sangiovese framework with some modern highlights from Cab, Merlot and Syrah. — 9 years ago

This wine was decanted 2 hours prior to consumption. At first taste it was very tight and closed. Better 2 hours in. Nose of tar, smoke, mahogany, and tobacco; inter-mixed with a bit of earth and red fruit. On the palate not very generous but complex. The second glass was better than the first. The next day after leaving the decanter open to the room temp air this became more integrated and the fruit level improved. Classic too young Brunello. Currently 88 pets, better in the future. Currently the Ciacci Piccolomini is better, but it is hard to tell which wine will be better in 5-10 years. — 8 years ago

In a grand spot but perhaps not fully mature. Puts the lie to my theory of not buying riservae. Still some tannins to resolve, reddish fruit, spicey, tobacco and leather notes. Bright aromatics. Round full complete. Great wine for a snowy night — 10 years ago
