2008 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Medium-heavy body. Juicy introduction with a firm, tannic handshake directly thereafter. Nice first impression of the 2018 tasting now but 3-5 years from now likely leads to a better opinion. 4.26.24. — 23 days ago

Really very nice and giving quite generously even at this relatively young age. Good sign for 2019 in general. Great depth, nice darker red fruit and flowers, and good acid on the finish with some real seamlessness. Quite enjoyable. — a month ago

Dubbele magnum, mooie helder, licht rood/oranje. Prettige geur, maar dun van smaak, veel zuren en weinig beleving in de afdronk. — a month ago

Medium ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of cherry, sage, tar, vanilla, and violet. Medium-plus body, with medium-plus tannins and high acidity. Lengthy finish. Meaty bouquet surprisingly similar to Northern Rhone Syrah. Rounded and plush. — 2 months ago

Previous tasting note here was for October 2022. Aromas of menthol , plum skins and friable soil. Medium bodied palate showing a strangely sweet chocolate character amongst the savouriness. A few years left in the drinking window. Have the last one in 2+ years. — a month ago

2018 vintage. Medium body. Bunches of ripe, dark fruit in the flavors framed by spiciness and earth. Youthful and could use a half-decade to settle down/integrate just a bit. Pretty nice now tho. 3.27.24. — 2 months ago

If anything, it’s now better than the last time I had this vintage. It was balanced, broad and fun. Still lots of fruit — just amazing body and aroma without any distractions. That’s how Brunello should be! — 18 days ago

Serious wine this. Oaky with dark fruits and tobacco. Already balanced despite its youth. Definately not one of the lighter Brunellos. I loved this but drinkers seeking lithe, acidic elegance will be disappointed. — 2 months ago

2018: starting to drink well despite youth. Good measure of earthy edge keeps the fruit and tannins in balance. $40 sale at VR — 2 months ago
