Vintage 2020 | Elegant spicyness. High acidity that does not disturb at all with food. Paired with steak tartare, salad and frites. At Vin/Perdu in Oud Turnhout. — 16 days ago

bit shy, needed some time in the decanter - translucent ruby colored, lots of violets and spice, sour cherry and bing cherry, rhubarb, tar, sweet soil, really complex on nose, med weight w/firm tannic grip, flavors from nose on mid palate, nice finish. paired with smoked ribs and it really worked - Father's day treat. i have another of these, believe this is in the pocket right now. *more Barbaresco than Brunello — 19 days ago

Still young (obviously) and first of all fruity (obviously), but there is also a chocolate, leather and it's oaky. Maybe needs time (obviously 😂), but it's also very good for those who don’t want to wait. — 6 days ago

9.1

Clear and bright light ruby , thin garnet rim . Fresh and aromatic rose and light red cherry , touch of light dried herbs with an earthy hint . On the palate this has bright red fruits , pure and elegant, fruit driven with red cherry , spiced red plum , and an earthy , menthol hint . Fresh acidity but with a still relatively juicy mouthfeel. Slightly grippy tannins and just noticable alcohol . Good length and overall balance . Drink now and over the next 5 years or so . — 11 days ago

A lovely Brunello. Classic in style, nose and character. Lovely. Drinking well but could go for another decade ( or two!). — 8 hours ago

This bottle didn’t live up to the brand

Decanted for 1 hour before dinner.

Really needed food. This wine was dark and not enjoyable unless paired with rich food.

Overall - okay but not what I expect from this winery. Maybe an off bottle from auction — 19 days ago

9.2

Medium ruby , slightly wider ruby, garnet rim . Slightly more closed and serious ,spiced cherries , menthol , liquorice and dried rosemary and thyme . On the palate this shows good red fruits , with raspberry , red cherry , spiced red plum , with dried herbs and a liquorice hint . Quite gritty tannins and fresh acidity , saline tinged finish of good length . This needs a little more time , better in 2-5 years and will show well a further 5 or so — 11 days ago

Mini vertical ‘98, ‘06, ‘09. This was my favorite. Wonderful aromas of licorice,leather, plums and black cherry are all replicated on the palate. Except for the color, a red core and a brick rim one would be hard pressed to guess its age — 6 days ago
