Some browning on the edges suggests that the wine is showing some age. Bright fruit on the nose with pomegranate, cherry pie filling, and notes of truffle. The palate was silky with just the right balance of oak, acid, and tannins. Based on the color, I would suggest drinking over the next 5 years instead of trying to hang on. — 11 years ago

Busted loose the 2008 to assess early drinking potential. A sacrifice of one bottle for five. Honestly, there is something about 2008 Brunellos that are less austere/classic than 2006, but do not possess that tiny bit of burn from the heat of 2007. So, drink earlier (now) or wait for another 4-7 years. 2008s are drinkers and keepers. — 12 years ago

2012 badia a coltibuobo estate chianti classico. Extremely pretty. "We've identified 170 grape varieties in the old chianti blends. " if you ever get a chance you hang with Roberto do it! Conversation topics he's enlightening on include biodynamic farming, sangiovese clonal selection history, chianti subzone terrior, the Milan concert seen of the early 70's, the velvet underground, hitchhiking the American west safely and efficiently, Fela Kuti, southern Oregon communes, biodiversity in vineyards, macro economic theory and sangiovese as a soil amplifier. Roberto speaks softly and carries a massive wit. #greatpeopleofwine — 11 years ago

Ripe blackberry. Loose mid palate. Allspice finish. Tannins absent in adolescence. — 11 years ago

Totally open for business, just a bit too warm and loose. My favorite producer. — 12 years ago

Fuck. I can't stop drinking this. This wine bar across from my kitchen is draining my wallet on getting in bed with this girl. Pure relaxation, so silky, so balanced...the minerals, the cherries, the mysteries of every sip. Open for 10 minutes, open for 2 hours, doesn't matter, she's tight, she's loose, she's so gorgeous and quiet. Fuck. I gotta get out of here. — 11 years ago

Delicious. Young but absolutely perfect with beef tender and all the sides. Excited to hang on to a bottle for a few more years — 11 years ago

Vibrant, spicy, zippy blackberries hang with the tertiaries - black tobacco and rough silk tannins. Might add 12.5 abv... — 12 years ago
