Medium tannin. (978 views) | | | Tasted by Blauweiss on 9/25/2021 & rated 92 points: From Magnun. Perfect now, still fruity but also very close to perfect maturity. Dried cherries, leather, long and elevated acidity, soft but evident tannin, good length. (2212 views) | | | Tasted by curtr on 3/26/2021 & rated 91 points: Decanted 1.5 hrs. Deep, intense, medium tannins. (2201 views) | | | Tasted by edjBoca on 11/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Opens over anhour or 2.... (2374 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 6/22/2020 & rated 91 points: (Decanted for one and a half hour)
Deep red colour with a brick red hue. Nice warmer fruity sweetness on the maturing nose also showing some dried herbs and a touch of oak. Youthful and still a bit austere tannins combining fresh herbs and fruitiness on the alcohol warm finish. This matched tonight’s lasagna perfectly and was showing very nicely by itself afterwards.
(Best 2021-2036) (2466 views) | | | Tasted by MonkhillVienna on 6/7/2020: Not good anymore, mostly tertiary aromas and alkohol (2382 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 4/2/2020 flawed bottle: Bouchonnée! (2952 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 10/17/2019 & rated 91 points: (Decanted for half an hour only)
Deep red colour with a bluish rim and a maturing nose showing drying fruit, leather and some primary fruit still. Smoothing tannins with a nice and balanced fruitiness that opens up with extra time in the glass.
Best 2016-2036 (2093 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 6/1/2019 & rated 91 points: Last bottle of the case, drinking very well to the last drop. (1925 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 3/16/2019 & rated 90 points: (Decanted for two hours)
Nice freshness on the nose showing liquorice, herbs and a hint of coffee as well with warm red berries and still austere tannins and still fresh fruit. Not the best of bottles, but still nice and lengthy finish and should evolve nicely over the coming decade.
(Best 2021-2031) (667 views) | | | Tasted by jcomm on 1/27/2019 & rated 94 points: This is ample and has a nice structure.
Loads of balck fruit, cheries and plums with black licorice and
some herbs. Long finish with an earthy hint.
Really good and for some time. (2213 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 9/20/2018 & rated 93 points: This might have been the best bottle so far of the case. Beautiful fruit, definitely not in danger of fading. Went great with pasta (with shrimp and spicy Italian sausage). (2347 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 6/12/2018 & rated 92 points: Ample et assez corsé mais bien fait et très bon, la structure laisse présager une bonification. (2903 views) | | | Tasted by hebill on 5/12/2018 & rated 90 points: THEWIZ nailed the tasting note...like the earthy notes developing. Nice and will be better. (2242 views) | | | Tasted by thewiz on 3/30/2018 & rated 90 points: Deep red colour with a brick red hue. Maturing nose showing hints of truffle and leather that quickly is washed away by the warm cherry fruit and dried herbs notes still dominating this lovely wine. Still showing some youthful austerity on the palate, but this has really opened up over the last years. Still showing lots of warm cherry fruit and some oak and with many years before the tertiary notes will take over and it will transform into what I love about an older Brunello. Best 2016-2041. (2055 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 3/30/2018 & rated 92 points: Brunello = best value in fine wine. (2080 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 11/12/2017 & rated 91 points: Lovely red fruit, with soft tannins. Drinking quite well. (2418 views) | | | Tasted by Goodjob! on 10/28/2017 & rated 90 points: A lot better than the previous bottle tasted in 2015. (2093 views) | | | Tasted by Patrik H on 10/8/2017 & rated 85 points: On the nose: Forest floor, dust, vanilla, dark cherry and oak.
On the palate: Fine tannins, cherry, vanilla, dust and dampness.
Medium finish
I think the wine lacks in balance and the oak is not fully integrated. (2229 views) | | | Tasted by pernod on 10/7/2017 & rated 89 points: Clear red, slight orange edge, thin slow drops. Aroma of red fruit, forest berries, undergrowth, dust, vanilla, turpentine and morels. Tastes of red berries, lemon peel, raspberry and mushrooms. Still nice fresh fruit with good depth and complexity. (2048 views) | | | Tasted by globalflyer on 8/18/2017 & rated 88 points: Worse than the last one. Not for me. Funky ending and almost no nose. (2387 views) | | | Tasted by heyjohnnyboy on 6/1/2017 & rated 93 points: Perfect now (2301 views) | | | Tasted by Mnawacki on 5/26/2017 & rated 90 points: I don't think the '06 Dol D'Orcia has reached its peak yet. But the big debate - do BdM's age well? I think they do. After 3 hours finally came alive. Dark, brooding, big tannins, yielding black tea, leather, gun powder, even meat. Fruit buried deep beneath but finally started to pop at the 3 hour mark, prunes, sour cherries, dark berries. Notes of cedar with dark fruit on the nose. Complex and layered. This is bottle 3 of 5 for me, last one back in 2013. I think still will evolve for years to come.

| Tenuta Col d'Orcia 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) |
