Deep Ruby color with berry fruit, fragrant spice and earthy cedar notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, and cacao with notes of floral spice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar wrapped in an earthy herb mineral spice character. Starting to drink well now, will age. — 14 hours 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!! 🍷 — 20 days ago

Nice but not great. Was worried it would drink too much like a bruiser given the 15% abv and relatively young age - actually wasn’t too bad on that dimension. But, not quite the level of fruit, acid, and seamlessness I’d hope for. Wait on others. — 9 days ago

Gorgeous. Minimal decant and this wine was very elegant and smooth. Delicious and just easy pairing with pasta sauce. — 10 days ago

Ruby in color with a wide brown/ brick rim.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 14 year old Brunello lost a lot of its fruits at this point. Soft and elegant. Earthy and better with food.

I paired it with a prosciutto and arugula pizza.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Medium Ruby with berry fruit, fragrant spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and licorice with notes of smoky pepper spice, tangy mineral feel. Fine drying tannins, medium+ savory finish ending with a vanilla, tobacco and earthy note. Nice! Drink now and over the next few years. — 17 hours ago

Vintage 1975 | Perfect balance, enormous rich, best wine tasted this year. Tasted next to Barolo and Rioja, the Brunello impressed me most. What a wine! — 21 days ago
