The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is youthfully coy in the glass, slowly opening with a delicate blend of smoked meats, cedar dust, crushed rocks and dried strawberries. It’s soft and enveloping with silky textures, a sweet and sour interplay of mineral-tinged berries and balsamic spice hints. Fine tannins mount toward the close. This finishes youthfully tense and grippy with a bump of residual acidity to balance its saturation of primary components. The 2016 is in an odd and slightly dormant place in its evolution.

Really a delicious brunello. Surprisingly ready to go - opened several hours prior but didn’t decant. Great black fruit, excellent balance, very good refreshing acid, medium plus tannins but works with food. Would be interesting to see in a couple years but quite nice now. — 8 months ago

Crisp, clean, light floral bouquet, medium acidity, slight fruity aftertaste, good in its own and bursts with flavor when paired with fresh crudo, fruit, and salads. — 9 months ago

My word - this is nearly perfect! Mature and perfect on the nose, robust & sturdy on the palette. Smooth finish with old world French notes, but in a smoother less heavy yet still flavourful Italian style. Sips well alone or with a meal. Just wow! — 3 months ago

The 2019 Nobile di Montepulciano is a pleasure on the nose. Sweet spice complements raspberry and cherry aromas. Juicy acidity balances silky textures as rose-tinged red berries cascade across the palate. There’s a gentle coating of fine tannins and lovely energy as hard red candy hints fade. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2023) — 6 months ago

2016 vintage. Decanted. Super-precocious. Tremendous awareness and balance at a young age. Everything in proportion-now. Medium body. Want to try again in 7-8 years. 8.26.23. — 9 months ago

Immediately delicious upon pop-n-pour… but developed significantly over the course of a 3-4 hour decant. This stuff is simply delicious… perfectly balanced and complex. This firmly has a spot in my top 5 favorite BdMs… (which says a lot!) — 3 months ago

Dinner at Suraya Lebanese place first time. With Yuki and Jeff. 12 years old Dragon year proud cycle and it’s still got time to age. Beautiful balanced Chianti that evolved in glass over the dinner. Paid corkage instead of ordering from just though it did have interesting wines including from Lebanon. — 3 months ago
