Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

We had a vertical tasting with 2007. Both excellent. 07 lighter in color. 07 a little more fragrant. Both had tastes of leather tobacco and black cherry. Both medium bodied. Going forward, I will drink Brunello sooner than 20 years. Some fruit got lost a bit — 5 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2005

v05. Exceptional. Decant. Soft, fruit soaked toasted oak nose. Bold, deep, rich, blackberry fruit with prune and tar hints. Velvety soft, yet firm, slightly astringent long, lean chocolate finish. — a month ago

Tenuta Col d'Orcia

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Shoe leather on the nose. Red fruit on the front. Light tannic structure. Not much body. What body there is fades on the end. Short finish. Except for the slight scent of mouldy shoe leather on the nose, there’s nothing objectionable about this wine, but it’s weak and watery and without much character. Meh. But wait!…

I left the remainder in the bottle, and 24 hours later it had developed quite nicely. The nose had developed into unripe cherries—losing the moldy leather smell. Red fruit developed on the front, and the tannic structure improved. And it developed a longer finish. I upped my rating from an 8.6 to 9.0.

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Enjoyed with some Tuscan steak and pasta while watching the 2926 masters. Wanted Cameron Young but Rory knows how to keep it interesting. That said. Lovely rather light wine on a sunny afternoon. Sorry - more about the ambience than the tasting notes. Ooos. It was Yummy. — a month ago

Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2021

2021 vintage. Medium body. Mostly fruit, fewer herbs in the nose. Total green light now. Some structure but not excessively so. Dunno how long the show will go but fabulous now and without any significant speed bumps/humps. This is an excellent Brunello to showcase the allure for those that have never had the pleasure or "gotten it" with the area. 4.15.26. — 23 days ago
