Can you explain why you say top quality and only a 91 as a score? Not your cup of tea style wise?

@Jan A My score of 91 is still a silver medal. It could rate higher in future tastings. First of 3.

Argiano

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25. — 7 months ago

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2022

2022 Vintage. Rustic red in color, cherry and pepper on the nose. A fairly dry Sangiovese, but after 30 minutes, it opened up nicely. Medium bodied, paired well with spicy sausage and potatoes. — 5 months ago

Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2001

This bottle was opened several hours prior to dinner. The 2001 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe Morello cherry, red flowers, leather, black tea, and a lovely mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, slightly savory and super complex. A textbook Brunello Riserva that leans on the more elegant side of the spectrum. A fabulous pairing with lombo di agnello. Drink now with patience through 2041. — 9 months ago

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Splash decanted and enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried green herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and has that Ciacci Piccolomini silkiness. I felt the 2019 was a little reticent for the first 30min (not at all surprised) but opened beautifully after that and continued to build steam until the last glass. Very easy to enjoy and fabulous with bolognese. Drink now with a 30min decant and through 2044 — 4 months ago
