| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.4 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 66 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Klyman1 on 8/17/2021 & rated 91 points: After reading the prior notes, I was grateful that my last bottle still had a good amount of life to it. Bright cherry flavors and good acidity with a nice finish. (1217 views) | | | Tasted by Jay Win on 7/18/2021: While a bit past its prime, the bottle I opened is full of life. Drink 'em if you got 'em but a nice Brunello tonight B/B+. Stored properly and purchased on release. (1211 views) | | | Tasted by Vino921 on 11/29/2020: Sadly, I agree with previous TN --- this wine is past prime. I love the 2010 vintage of this wine and previously had a few of the 07s and while not quite as good were still excellent. This bottle (my last of the '07) was definitely downhill and tasted like prune juice :-( (1408 views) | | | Tasted by Ruubious on 11/28/2020: Dead, completly dead.
Pale brick colour, sherry like flavour, no tannin, no structure.
Big disappointment, especially at this price. No reason a 2007 should be this dead.
Stored property since purchase (1370 views) | | | Tasted by JGinMO on 10/2/2019 & rated 89 points: Fine, not noteworthy. Fairly integrated at this age, no hurry to drink these, but I'm skeptical it gets much better either. (2085 views) | | | Tasted by MaurizioAbba on 4/7/2019 & rated 87 points: Classical Brunello from a little-known estate in Montalcino. Clear notes of flowers and cherries that leave place to more seductive hints of spices (cinnamon and pepper) after few rotations, terminating with a minty balsamic note. Elegant taste, with polished tannins and long persistence. A wonderful product, ready to be drinked after 10 years (1522 views) | | | Tasted by jpinsb on 1/18/2019 & rated 91 points: Bigger than expected, but still very drinkable as a PnP. No sign of further aging being a problem. (1570 views) | | | Tasted by rashcar on 10/18/2018 & rated 93 points: Well balanced at this point. Pnp and it's ready. Enjoy a good Brunello juice. (1762 views) | | | Tasted by VinnieVeritas on 7/9/2018 & rated 91 points: Beginning to show some garnet at the edge. Quite an elegant wine, medium bodied but fully flavoured; went well with prime rib. (1616 views) | | | Tasted by BigGDaddy on 6/21/2018 & rated 94 points: Fabulous. 2007 is a great year and this wine I excellent. (1597 views) | | | Tasted by Yagil on 1/25/2018 & rated 89 points: Barolo tasting for Zuker's 65th b'day (at Moshe Zuker): clear, deep ruby
clean, profound intensity of tertiary aromas of dry cherries, earth, oak-vanilla, light spices
dry, high acidity, high tannins, full body, rich dry cherries flavours, earth, tobacco, elegant long finish.
ready to drink and can further age 10-20 years. (2011 views) | | | Tasted by ShoelessJoe on 12/14/2017 & rated 90 points: Beautiful Brunello. Velvet on the tongue. (1695 views) | | | Tasted by Snoman on 12/11/2017 & rated 91 points: Nicely integrated at 10 years, but should hold well and be improving for another 8-10 years. Classic nose and flavors in a traditional style, and built for a couple of decades in the cellar, maybe longer. Finish highlights still-grippy tannins and displays some mild acidity as it opens the kimono with age. (1880 views) | | | Tasted by Snoski62 on 12/9/2017 & rated 93 points: This was a lovely Brunello, and seems to be in peak form. Lots of floral notes on the nose with a typical cherry and lighter red fruits. Fruit fairly prominent, but with some leather and earth tones to round it out. Very elegant finish. (1483 views) | | | Tasted by studleytrey on 10/15/2017 & rated 91 points: Had to finally take a break from our streak of Napa and Sonoma wines out of solidarity over the fires out there because everyone has their limit and it's Sunday supper lasagna after all, so let's be serious here.
This wine is gorgeous and drinking really well right now. Garnet color with transparency. On point nose of cherry, rose petals, dried meat, iron, black tea, dried fennel, and orange peel. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acidity, and flavors of cherry, fennel, black tea, and lemon and orange citrus. I love Brunello. (2036 views) | | | Tasted by greedy on 5/20/2017 & rated 93 points: Wonderful. In a really good spot right now. Lots of sediment so needs decant. I let it open up for 2 hours.
Long silky finish. Beautiful floral nose. Well balanced with no hint of alcohol. Decent acidity.
Starting to really dig brunello. Can't wait to see whern my large stash of 2010"s get into the groove. (2928 views) | | | Tasted by Theamaronefan on 5/16/2017 & rated 88 points: Solid medium bodied Brunello. (2572 views) | | | Tasted by greedy on 4/8/2017 & rated 90 points: Fantastic last night. Silky long finish. Light garnet in color.
Medium plus acidity with no trace of alcohol. Well balanced. (2918 views) | | | Tasted by millerarner on 1/6/2017 & rated 89 points: In a good spot now. Translucent, bordering on transparent. Light body with lively acidity, but well structured. Red fruits and floral notes mingled with wet earth. Very easy drinking, if not one to contemplate. (3113 views) | | | Tasted by greedy on 12/31/2016 & rated 83 points: Below average. Not worth 70$ cdn.
Taking the rest of this back to Lcbo. Shite.
Maybe I have been too spoiled with high end 2010 bdm. (2628 views) | | | Tasted by americanstorm on 7/22/2016 & rated 92 points: 2 Hour decant, nice nose, almonds, spices, teath coating tannins. Wonderful mouthfeel that makes you want to take a sip and keep it in your mouth for a min or two b4 swallowing. Long finish. Tannins were much milder on day two. At a $30 price point I don't think you can expect more from a brunello. Great qpr in my opinion. Going to see if I can find a few bottles of the 2010. (2227 views) | | | Tasted by madalyn on 5/18/2016 & rated 89 points: good with stuffed peppers on Wednesday night (2362 views) | | | Tasted by anderegg on 3/2/2016 & rated 87 points: PnP and let breathe for a bit in the glass. Lost detailed note when I closed the laptop... Good, but did not bowl either of us over. Light on aroma and flavor. (2306 views) | | | Tasted by JGinMO on 2/14/2016 & rated 90 points: Needed 30 mins in glass after decant. Very pleasant. (2086 views) | | | Tasted by mithomps on 1/30/2016 & rated 91 points: We really enjoyed the wine.

| Domus Vitae Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (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) |
