Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

What a beauty! Black cherry, plum, licorice, a bit of spice. Long, long, looooong finish. So balanced with structure, but mellow as well. Sublime. — 7 months ago

The full body, bold taste lingers on your palette so you can savour the strong flavour long after you swallow. July 2022 — 3 years ago

Concilio

Contessa Giovanna Manci Pinot Grigio 2018

This 2018 #pinotgrigio is just as sophisticated as the 2015 I drank a few years ago. Citrus, green orchard fruit, wet stone aromas with slight white flower undertones, a fleshier weight on the palate, mineral layers. This PG gets more expressive and enjoyable as it warms up in the glass. #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Montecucco Sangiovese 2013

A little help turning that Tuesday corner. Indulgently flavored bang for the buck here. Boozy, but intense dark fruits and mature tannins with a nice long finish. — 7 years ago

Podere le Boncie (Giovanna Morganti)

Le Boncie Chiesamonti Toscana IGT Sangiovese 2019

Of their top two wines, this is usually the more approachable, when younger and today proves that stereotype. This is a gorgeous representation of pure Sangiovese complexity, fruit, spice, floral, mineral interplay. — a year ago

Vurria Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese Rosato 2019

Smells of fresh alpine flowers growing amongst the cliff sides of Some European trail I shall hike someday.

Bone dry, wild strawberry, flint, river stone, dried dark cherry.

A lovely wine from a grape I have never heard of, until now.

Brandy di Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Not a ton to say... It had the underlying chocolate that I love. Nose was underwhelming. Very solid but the complexity of Ciacci or Cassanova wasn't there.

funky almost to a fault. at first sniff, i almost thought it might have been corked. however, it develops into something really quite special. the longer i sit with it, the more i want.

Fermavento Sangiovese di Romagna 2016

A great expression of Emilia–Romagna Sangiovese. On par with a Chianti Classico Riserva but at fraction of price. — 6 years ago

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2003

This is going to take a while.

Not a stellar year, add age, meh....
Dark, opaque, browning at the rim. Not much in terms of complexity. Next week, I'm opening a 1997 Ciacci.

Thanks @James Forsyth will look for you on Chess.com. but you will wax me, I'm lucky if I can hold on to 1500 range. I guess the neurons are set in stone for me.
