(At BBR's Italian Tour 2015) :: Delicate, quite soft but very well proportioned on the nose, showing a lovely balance of spice, rose and cherry. A rich, enveloping mouthfeel; again superbly balanced, with fine tannins and a med/long finish

Classic Sangio color. Delicate wine but still energetic and racy on the finish.

Sad to say goodbye to the last of three bottles. This opens up so nicely after a couple of hours of decant. Beautiful brick red/orange. Varied nose with charcoal and mint complemented by floral scents. Strawberry, cherry and leather flavor with a well integrated finish with smooth tannins. Wish I had more!

This has reached its plateau I feel. Absolutely delicious, watery rims, lovely garnet colour , med+ body and tannins (soft and round), med+ alcohol complementing the med+ acidity.
Lovely perfume of red fruits on nose and palate, some roses and tar. Long and complete, almost finished in one evening with my wife.
These are expensive but so much fun we'have drinking the 4 others, one left sadly.

Longlivebrunello tasting, the "La Paulee" of Montalcino, vin 10:

Varm och svår årgång. lagrad på 17HL Allier fat.

Lätt på näsan, svag frukt, röda bär, rosor, apelsin, medicinala drag.

Len på munnen, helt integrerade tanniner. Helt annat vin jämfört med 06:an. Drick nu.

One of my favourite producers of Brunello when I purchased this wine almost a decade ago, i was keen to so how this had aged and if my tastes had changed. Very well and not much to be succinct. This is a beautiful wine. I hate the comparison, but it is almost Burgundian / chambolle in its aromatics. So beautifully balanced to drink. An absolute treat and one of the best wines I’ve had this year.

Decanted for one hour and drank over four. Left a nugget for the next day. This is a slow ox. Open early in am to drink in evening. Beautiful wine with a medium light body but packing plenty of power and finesse. Sweet cherries spice tabaco. All the markings of a great Brunello. The first two hours packed and undertone of orange peel which wore off as the hours ticked by. Started as a 90-91 but evolved into a 93-94. Definitely a wine that can age for 10 more years if not longer as the tannins are not yet fully resolved. Look forward to the next bottle....the nugget left over for day 2 only confirmed everything above. Tasted even better!

2 hour slo-o. Drank this bottle after enjoying the 2007 Poggio di Sotto. Started out like the Poggio with elegance and superb balance. After 30 minutes in the glass the wine took on incredible depth and finesse and soared from the glass with each sip. Truly a wine with soul!

Decanting removed moderate sediment. Dark but somewhat transparent red color. Nose of ripe fruit, tar, black currants, spice, tobacco, and smoke. Elegant medium body fruit and tar, spice flavors, with ample acidity. Ripe elegant tannins while feeling somewhat gritty (this gritty feel dissipates the next day). Very long intense finish. The next day the wine softens considerably but in my opinion you need not be in any hurry to drink this even though you may wish to since it is so good.

Absolutely stunning! Tasted blind, and so elegant on the nose and palate, that my friend went Burgundy. Hello?!? Great brunello in a good vintage, perfectly well made. Red fruits, med+ acidity and body. Soft elegant tannins. All in all an amazing wine. Glad I got 4 left and I'll be looking to buy some in other good vintages.

From a bottle opened last night at dinner.

Light translucent ruby in the glass; intense floral notes on the nose, red fruits (maybe cranberry most pronounced) - I liked this a lot last night, but I think the nose is even more evocative today.

Seamless on the palate, with adequate acidity, nice persistence on the finish, and a slight touch of acerbity that adds some interest/complexity.

Impressive - probably will drink well for another 5-10 years, but to be honest, given how well it drinks right now, no real reason to defer your gratification. I think this may be her best vintage for current consumption at this moment (although if you like them younger the 2009 is also doing fine).

Lovely, sensuous Brunello. A blend of light and darker red fruit. Earth tones (leather, tobacco?) blend. There is some power here, but with delicate balance. Drinking well now in my opinion.

The ‘07 Stella di Campalto takes the ripeness of the vintage and marries it perfectly with the lifted nature of the house style. Here, crushed cherry dominated, yet still with a savory edge, giving way to sweet spice, dried orange peel and floral perfumes. On the palate, I found tart cherry and spice, with masses of sweet inner florals, in a light and feminine expression. The finish displayed tart cherry and savory herbal notes. There was a slight lack of substance here, but it’s a great effort for the vintage.

Reminds me of many Burgundies. Bright red fruit, great integration of flavors and acidity. A touch of heat.

Lontano dal riserva 2009 bevuto qualche mese fa, ma comunque non sfigura. Elegante come sempre, aperto decisamente troppo presto. Richiede ancora almeno 5 anni. Dopo 24 ore in decanter regala molte soddisfazioni.

no notes taken but it was spectacular really. Last wine drunk in a night of 9 wines of very high quality.
Concentrated and powerful yet with a softe entry on the palate, vibrant acidity, long lasting. LOVED every single drop of it.
Buy if you can find.

Medium ruby color. The purity, depth and energy of this wine is grand cru level. That, combined with harmonious balance on a weightless frame makes this a real winner. Classic flavors of cherry, tobacco and licorice sail to a nice long finish. Great transparency and varietal typacity. This drinks more like a 2010 then a 2007. Nose was reticent at first but opened up after 30 minutes in the decanter. Suggest this gets at least an hour in a decanter if not 2. Some tannins yet but they disappear completely with food. Paid $80 and completely worth it. Even worth the $95 it sells for now for the 07. I might have grab a couple more of these. A lovely and inspiring wine, right now.

Great as always. Last time was stronger as it better matched the food. It was still exceptional. All of the greatness of brunello with stronger fruit characteristics.

This is the best 2007 brunello that I have ever consumed. Hands down! More fruit than the usual brunello and beautiful with any kind of pasta.

Just opened this at 10:00 a.m. to give it a little slow-O before dinner tonight.

Light translucent ruby in the glass, with spice notes and red fruits and menthol on the nose.

Very tasty on the palate (a nice "technical" description!) - light to medium-bodied, red-fruited, adequate acidity. Looking forward to checking back on this at dinner.

Light translucent ruby in the glass; noticeably lighter in color than the Gulfi.

Mentholated cherries on a very primary nose - for a very young wine, this nose is pretty likable.

Tart red fruits, nice acidity and a tannic finish. I think this wine has a nice future ahead of it, although it's approachable enough right now that it's really not a crime to drink a bottle.

Her wines can be a little pricey when it comes to Brunello, but I find the purity of fruit and elegance that they tend to display makes them worth the additional tariff.

Med-light garnet color you'd expect from a more traditional producer than she is reputed to be. Right now, I think, she is considered a bit of an experimenter still seeking the best mix of old and new ideas. Whatever she's up to it works for my more traditional palate and this was a delight to drink. The vibrancy and sparkle of this wine is very appealing. That, combined with harmonious balance and depth on a weightless frame makes this a real winner. Classic flavors of cherry, tobacco and licorice sail to the nice long finish. Great transparency and varietal typacity. Only downside to this wine is its small production leads to the $80 I paid for it. Worth it for sure but not the bargain of a the also high quality volume producer, Il Poggione. Thus I only bought 2 of these so I'll hold onto my 2nd btl for its expected peak window around 2018 +.
