Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Give the governor Harrumph!! This wine rocked. Amazing perfume. Explosive complex cherry and tar bursting early and throughout. Splendid in every way. Not sure if there is any room to improve. — 6 months ago

Banfi

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

茶褐色だが、熟成香はなし。もっと甘美な感じかと思えば、意外とエレガント。
凛とした雰囲気で、溶けんだタンニン。サンジョベーゼらしいスミレの香り、ミント、タバコ、鉱物的なニュアンス、プルーン、醤油、血のような鉄っぽさ。
もっと果実の乗ったガッツリな感じかと思えば、意外と?エレガント。
ボルドーグラスとブルゴーニュグラス、両方試してみたが、中盤以降は断然ブルゴーニュ。

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2007

Decant for sediment and pour(decent chunky/fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red color. On the nose: jumping from the glass are port drenched cherries, pencil shavings, tobacco, toffee, balsamic, and cinnamon. Taste: silky, balanced, still fresh wine with currants, little dried cherry, tobacco, earth, dried herbs, and a spicy saline graphite satisfying finish. YUM! In the home stretch, drink. — 4 months ago

Castello di Monsanto

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2015

I love this wine. We had it with a rich meal of cognac Dijon beef stew, and Alsatian braised red cabbage. It was especially beautiful with the cabbage. It’s fruit notes were amazing. Its finesse and elegance were perfect for the meal. and at this price, it’s an unbelievable bargain. — 5 months ago

Tenuta Caparzo

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino, her signature is on the label! Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate sour cherry, plum & radpberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine slightly drying tannins, long ending with spicy herb oak finish. Nice, drinks well, decant! — 6 months ago

Montevertine

Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2020

Poured into a decanter right before service. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Montmorency cherry, red flowers, black tea, fresh sage, some dried green herbs and dry, dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a classic, rustic Chianti Classico without the DOCG designation. Better after 2030 and will drink well through 2045. — 4 months ago

@Ely Cohn same. Time is needed for the wall of structure to relax and come into better balance with the fruit.

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Super Tuscans are always a treat. Especially with some age in bottle. Needs time in the glass to aerate to scents of tobacco, spice, black fruit and cedar. Cheers. — 5 months ago
