| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.2 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 39 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 11/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Will clearly stay at 93 this is my last magnum from the 2008 anniversary wine - this is a great wine such a great balance - can only repeat my rating from august 2022 - you do sense that the fruit is more mature - but the picture is the same happy to stay at very solid 93. (289 views) | | | Tasted by grappagunnar on 12/31/2022 & rated 94 points: Served after a two hour decant.
Really nice, WOTN.
If I have had more bottles, which I don't, I could drink now with pleasure but also save a couple of years more. (470 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 11/8/2022 & rated 93 points: A clear improvement to my last anniversary magnum - this is much more what I was expecting - a great balance and freshness - lots of fruit - cherries and blackberries - we are also getting chocolate and leather - also spices - we are increasing our rating to a very sold 93 - this was a great wine and what you could expect from an anniversary wine. (587 views) | | | Tasted by talbot61 on 10/31/2022 & rated 93 points: I opened this two hours early, but didn't decant. It was still quite tannic, so a full decant might have been better, but it was very tasty regardless. Moderate acidity, high intensity, strong chocolate character, beautiful accompaniment for roast lamb. (683 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 3/19/2022 & rated 92 points: This is a magnum - special edition released in 2018 - It is a nice Brunello - you are getting lots of fruit - it is drinking very nicely - the fruit is cherries and blackberries - the wine has a sense of sweetness - I am also getting some chocolate - tannins and acidity are both medium - balance is fine - being a 10 years anniversary note I had expected more - we are ending on 92. (1001 views) | | | Tasted by NickA on 2/19/2021 & rated 92 points: Long Live Brunello 2013 vs 2008 vs 2005 (Zoom!): Not as heavy as the '05 and the '13 – slightly brighter, redder fruit, and the spice is cinnamon rather than liquorice. No sense of chocolate here either. (1397 views) | | | Tasted by E&S WineDown on 5/15/2020 & rated 94 points: Perfectly in its drinking window. Smooth, beautiful nose of dried cherry and leather. Well integrated tannins, dried fruit on the palate. Still had good acidity, paired well with pasta & meat sauce. (1287 views) | | | Tasted by Tonythefish on 12/25/2019 & rated 93 points: Wine of the night to me. After 30-45 minutes in decanter, the wine was really good. Had medium to dark garnet color, lasting 30 second finish, medium spice notes, wet leather and light smokiness. (1405 views) | | | Tasted by docdavid on 3/2/2019 & rated 90 points: Excellent fruit dried cherries .would drink over next 2 years (1686 views) | | | Tasted by Social_Drinker on 10/24/2018 & rated 92 points: The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.
Pretty awesome bouquet. It smells like blackberry, vanilla, coffee, coconut, oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, figs and meaty. It tastes like plum. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium +. The wine has medium + acidity.
Surprised by it's 15% alcohol. But doesn't taste like one.
I would say it's pretty approachable & should drink up in the next few years.
Now where's my steak?

(1522 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 12/28/2017 & rated 91 points: It is cherry it is black current it is a lot of fruit - there is some chocolate - and some spices. Still medium tannins and aggressive - good balance. (1496 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 11/4/2017 & rated 91 points: Very fruity - cherries and blackberries - I am stilling getting some chocolate - good balance - still medium tannins and acidity - tannins are still a bit aggressive - but they will relaxed with age - lots to come - I like the wine and think it has potential. (1386 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 7/30/2017 & rated 91 points: It is a nice well balanced wine - medium tannins and acidity - loft os cherries and black berries - also some chocolate good solid finish - the wine is drinking well already now. (1458 views) | | | Tasted by Tonythefish on 5/21/2017 & rated 92 points: Very nice. 1 hour decant, and opens to floral notes, eased tannins and medium bodied wine. Light to medium fruit, decent finish and great mouthfeel. Excellent when served with bolognese sauce (1249 views) | | | Tasted by JVG on 10/17/2014: Clear, medium garnet. Clean, pronounced-intensity, developing, meaty/savory nose, with aromas of smoke, tar, charred wood, and sour cherry. Dry on the palate, medium(+) body, medium(+) acid, medium(+) tannin, high alcohol, medium(+) intensity, and a flavor profile to match the nose plus lavender, blackberry, espresso, and dark chocolate. Long finish. Very good, can drink now but will improve, premium price. (2970 views) | | | Tasted by seanwindsor on 9/14/2014 & rated 75 points: I am a fan of the Brunello di Montalcino region but this vineyard is not one of my favorites. Interestingly enough, it's priced (and rated) higher than other vineyards from this region that I like more. (2829 views) | | | Tasted by JonGray on 7/12/2014 & rated 95 points: A classic Italian beast - glowering my mouth with smooth tannins, dusty berries and fruit (2972 views) | | | Tasted by paolonardi on 2/1/2014: Vino potente e segnato da un complessivo calore, generoso. (2966 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/27/2013: Brunello di Montalcino Focusing on 2007 (SF Wine Trading Company): Pale with tawny rim. Low pitched, earthy nose full of tobacco leaf. Not at all centered on the fruit. Looser, less intense and less focused than the '07, but still very nice wine, not meager or underripe and best in terms of its supple feel in the mouth. For early consumption. (3079 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| MastroJanni 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) |
