| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 30 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by nkirsch on 4/5/2024 & rated 94 points: Delicious. Silky smooth with good fruit, nice finish. drank immediately after opening which was fine. usually I let brunellos age but this young one was great (563 views) | | | Tasted by BrunelloBob on 2/3/2024 & rated 90 points: PnP, second glass better than the first. Darker fruit and spice profile. Decent length if not overly complex. B.W. likes more than I do. (772 views) | | | Tasted by pfinn01 on 11/1/2023: Had with Brix carbanara. Actually very good. Better than the last Sangovise that we had. (1148 views) | | | Tasted by Velobici on 5/29/2023 & rated 92 points: This bottle is opened up with a 2012, four 2016s, and a 1999 Antico. This appears as a dense, thick, red with dark fruit, dark cherry plum, integrated oak, ripe fruit and tannins. Interesting to see if it becomes the wind the 99 has become, which was very enjoyable on this evening. I find it remarkable how Brunellos age (1498 views) | | | Tasted by Barolo Freak on 1/1/2023 & rated 90 points: I received this gem as a Christmas present and I popped it open several evening's ago. It sat in the decanter briefly and I poured it to celebrate the New Year. I took my first sip as the ball in Times Square dropped. My first impression was fairly good. The wine drank nicely for a young Brunello. It displayed aroma's of menthol, licorice and cassis. I sipped some more on evening two and it had mellowed out nicely. This is definitely a wine that will only get better with age and I plan to add a few bottles to my cellar. (1820 views) | | | Tasted by Jason Wu on 11/30/2022 & rated 92 points: Appearance: Med ruby
Nose: Med+ intensity， cedar， dark cherry, red roses, bean, capsicum, developing.
Palate: Dry, high acidity, high alcohol, med+ tannins (silky) med+ body, med+ intensity, blueberries, red plum, med+ finish.
Overall, very good wine. I believe the wine is a little corked which impacts the performance on the nose. What a shame! The wine is still very refresh, elegant and well balance on the palate. I like the style of the wine. (1758 views) | | | Tasted by Puristica on 11/6/2022 & rated 93 points: Gorgeous at this stage, right in between nice ripe fruit and the beginning of aging. Intensive and enjoyable at p&p. Not sure I want this to age any further. (1587 views) | | | Tasted by Toddwcomer on 10/29/2022: Need to find more (1539 views) | | | Tasted by R Z on 10/28/2022 & rated 94 points: Fine showing. Tart cherry, with a firm tannic background. Not over-extracted or heavy, aged in traditional 40 hl (1,050 gallons) Slavonian oak barrels, not much oak on the palate. Balanced, pure sangiovese fruit, drinking well now. (1312 views) | | | Tasted by JackCali on 8/4/2022 & rated 91 points: Drinking well with mild tannin (1419 views) | | | Tasted by Vinny9212 on 7/31/2022: Drink by 2024 (1252 views) | | | Tasted by Ernestas on 3/30/2022 & rated 92 points: One of the highest vineyards in Brunello, altitude of 450m. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks, wine is aged in Slavonian oak for 42 months and 18 months in bottle. Medium ruby red colour. Medium intensity aroma of cherries, cranberries, earth, dried rose petals, undergrowth, liquorice hint. Medium body, feels elegant, fragrant, round and approachable with bright and vibrant acidity, polished and well structured fine tannins. (1722 views) | | | Tasted by Cove Haven on 7/7/2021 & rated 85 points: The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom and forest floor. It tastes like bell pepper, green olive and sherry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity. I have not been impressed with any 2015 BDM I have tried
I will hold and try in a couple of years but not expecting much (3279 views) | | | Tasted by winedr on 6/22/2021 & rated 94 points: Cherry, some blueberry and plum notes, tobacco. Love the nose. Full bodied, earthy and evolves in the glass. Long finish. Still young but excellent and I think will even get better with some aging. Great wine. (3035 views) | | | Tasted by Francophile1 on 4/11/2021 & rated 88 points: Initially, I thought this might be corked. However, the TCA aroma blew off after an hour in the decanter. However, I was expecting more from this wine because every 2015 Brunello that I’ve had thus far have had a sweet and pure fruit quality. This was an old school, rustic, traditional Brunello that was much more tobacco, leather, and mineral driven than fruit driven. This gets me back to my TCA theory... is this 2015 Brunello really this rustic or is there a slight cork taint that killed the fruit this early in its evolution? I need another bottle to bring closure to this mystery. (3409 views) | | | Tasted by Swanywawa on 3/4/2021 & rated 94 points: With a floral and red fruity nose, this wine opened up nicely after a 3 hour decant. Red cherry, plum cross the palate where cocoa and pipe tobacco hitting mid palate before a round-mouthed, long pleasing finish.

Brian 94/95 (2846 views) | | | Tasted by gpritsch on 2/4/2021 & rated 90 points: like many BdMs of 2015, for me, despite the hype, these are "just ok". Flat. just no wow factor. They are smooth though and hopefully with age will become more interesting, but for now, have tried many, they are all 89-91 points for me, with little true differentiation. strange ! (1918 views) | | | Tasted by KingSlacker999 on 11/16/2020: Very primary, very pure fruit, great backbone, very young. Going to be much better in a few years. Score withheld until then. (2569 views) | | | Tasted by rjmp96 on 5/29/2020 & rated 93 points: Dark red cherry and fresh red plum fill the mouth on this fruit forward young Brunello. Right now, this one is all about the fruit. But it’s also very well structured, with firm tannins and bright beam of acid. This will age and really express the notes of camphor, soil, black tea and spice that come out with time. The finish is superb here as well. Coming from some of the highest vineyards in Montalcino, this spends 30 months in 40hl Slavonian oak with 18 months in bottle. 3,000 cases produced. (3042 views) | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 2/21/2020: 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, new releases (Montalcino centro): Benvenuto Brunello 2020, Montalcino
A good sense of place on the nose, with much more acid/balance/terroir than I was expecting on the palate. Good, more traditional than modern, to be sure. A bit of warmth in the center that I think will resolve in a few years. Very fine tannins, good+ purity. It's not ideal for my palate, but I think time may correct this, bringing the wine more into balance. highly recommended, drink 2025-2040+

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
