Way too many options to tag this wine.
This needed a day to open up. Delicate and soft Sangiovese with refined structure. My preference over the Pieve Santa Restituta.
Really pretty. BYO at Lucali for the second time in two months.

Oct 6th, 2023A very nicely packed and stacked Brunello, give it at least another year worth a pt or 2.

Jul 18th, 20232016: A disappointment: early tannic mouthfeel opens up to… not a lot. Would expect better concentration, fruit, acid to take over but the result is fairly weak and underwhelming. Too young? Maybe but way better choices at lower price points. $65 (!) at Gary’s.

Sep 5th, 2022Robert pogo’s buy. Red meat on the nose, light in color, not too tannic, easy to drink. At the ranch before dinner.
