 Tasted by acheng on 3/18/2021: My last bottle and just as well. Drying out with mostly oak spice and tar. Drink up (565 views)
 Tasted by acheng on 12/30/2015 & rated 93 points: Drinking amazingly well for this under the radar producer. Sour cherry, dried porcini, savoury, herbs and earth. Excellent. (1969 views)
 Tasted by wss on 11/24/2011 & rated 90 points: Is there a bad Brunello? Certainly not this one. In its prime. Ruby color of an aged wine. Earthy nose. Taste of cherries and leather. Long finish. (4969 views)
 Tasted by mwanasheria on 11/3/2009 & rated 88 points: A tannic wine, still a bit coarse on the palate, but nice drinking nevertheless. Very good. (6413 views)
 Tasted by vijayk416 on 1/4/2009 flawed bottle: excessive VA that never blew off. (6883 views)
 Tasted by Kirk Grant on 5/16/2008: There is a funk on the nose of this wine that is almost like a bad fart. After that blew away there were scents of bell pepper, black truffles, bloody meat, and cedar. In the mouth the only two flavors that were obvious at this time were sour cherry and cacao nib. This was a pleasure to taste at this point in time, however, it needs time in the bottle to show more. At my cost ($42) I like the wine...but not enough to buy it. (6510 views)
 Tasted by Jascha on 2/25/2008 & rated 91 points: First impression was the colour. Gorgeous onion skin hues around the edge of the glass, and lovely black cherry on the nose.
After an hour of decanting, was perfect. Rich, well structured, earthy tones and great balance.
Wish i had another one. Drank with braised shortribs and roast potatoes and carrots, perfect match. (5704 views)
 Tasted by acheng on 2/18/2008 & rated 90 points: Wow, this is good stuff. Complex nose of cherry, chocolate and touch of leather. Tangy acidity with a juicy cherry finish. Tannin is resolved. A classic brunello. At $30, this is as good as some twice its price. Outstanding. (4016 views)
 Tasted by Wayne on 12/22/2007 & rated 91 points: needs a few more years for the tannis to chill out (4524 views)
 Tasted by foodandwineblog on 11/14/2007 & rated 89 points: Decanted from 375 mL at a restaurant in Montalcino: Brilliant dark ruby color. Nose and mouthful of ripe dark fruits, leather, spice. Great on the mid-palate with a lot of ripe fruit flavors carrying the wine through medium tannins and good length on the finish. foodandwineblog.com (3884 views)

Sangiovese

SANGIOVESE: (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.
