Interesting dry vino da meditazione. It’s clocking it at 16.5% alcohol with still a barely-there touch of RS just to show it still had gas in the tank. Starts with opulent thickly layered dark fruit, concentrated and over ripe, but not jammy. The pallet opens things up by actually leading with very surprising acidity, turning fruit more red and fresh, revealing a subtle touch of sweetness and then continuing for 40+ seconds with different shades of fruit, from ripe figs to dry berries, all carried by the acidity and alcohol that never stands out of balance with the abundance of everything else. Both ridiculously out there and in balance: crazy high ripeness, crazy high alcohol, but crazy high acidity! — 5 months ago

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. — 6 months ago

Not the same cuvée. To gianfranco. This is from Capri. Orangic pet nat. Tastes super hipster. Hazy, unclean. Rich fruit, but bitter-dry. — 4 years ago
100% Merlot. Full-bodied, lots of dark fruit, sweetness combined with good acidity and velvety tannins. Great wine! — 7 years ago
Outstanding nose of ripe nebbiolo fruit. A tad hot and missing a bit on the mid palate but a quality wine nevertheless — 8 years ago
