Still drinking like a baby. Very shy in the nose initially until we decanted a bit and opened up. Lovely bouquet of black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, leather and earth. Amazing wine but will be even better in 5-10 yrs — 10 years ago

94 is singing out of the bottle, at its prime. Integration at its best and a lot of that character you expect out of Vega retained. Not shy at all. — 11 years ago

As good as this is now I think it still needs a few more years for the oak to mellow. Not a shy wine, very modern and flashy. — 10 years ago

Very shy at first while showing its earthy side. However, this was the only of the three wines for dinner that elevated itself with cuisine. Took about two hours for voluptuous fruit to come out. Definitely the elegant side of Brunello — 11 years ago

Dried fruit. Raisins and plums dancing in oak. Med body and alcohol. High acid and lingering finish. Nothing shy of amazeballs. — 12 years ago

9.1

From magnum, this was a bit muted and restrained with a shy nose of red cherry, blackberry, allspice and mint notes. Lively entry with Sangiovese’s austere tannins. Red cherry, cranberry and cassis fruit in the mouth. Lacked the density I expected. Paired really well with the wild boar ragu and pappardelle. — 8 years ago

Where the Savoy was open and singing, the shelf is still the shy little grape (juice). Needs coaxing, but the stuffing is there. Really good juice. — 8 years ago

Shy at first, this took off like a rocket. Soaring aromatics, beautiful palate. — 11 years ago

Alex Powell

9.2

A bit wound up on nose, still smoky with fresh blackcurrant and elderberry, pine bough, tangy orange and tobacco leaf. Very woodsy, but also quite shy...palate is hugely mineral and mouthcoating, touch of spice, monumental and fresh, long length. No doubt quite excellent, but not showing its arsenal today...wait 5 years at least if you have such patience! — 11 years ago
