Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Showing excellently, enjoyed over a couple of hours after opening for about half an hour. Sharp, perfumed mineral notes give way to violet, blackberry, cassis, and baking spices and a bit of vanilla. Telltale earthiness and a bit of rusticity at the bottom, but exceptionally smooth with great structure. This went wonderfully with everything from beef tenderloin to grilled scallops and vegetables. The mandarin chutney in the scallop dish brought out plums and griotte cherry in the wine.

Good wine with some subtle mushroom and dark berry notes, but not much liveliness mid-palate or on the finish.

Well aged, good acid but silky.

Really enjoyed this. Traditional Brunello and it has aged beautifully.

Mmm earthy lush soft acidity.

17/20 (92/100) Аромат чёрного чая, бальзамика, сушеной черники. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, немного суховатыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отличное выдержанное вино.

Solid but not amazing

Still fresh. Could easily last another 5 -10 Years.
