2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
12/29/2022 - UofM Likes this wine: 52 pointsSimilar notes to previous tastings. Just a bit more refined and rounded. Went very well with homemade Sunday sauce w/ meatballs and sausage. |

Well integrated Rhône Blend that has become silky smooth. Tons of primary red and black berry fruits, and with secondary flavors for days. Wish I had more!!

2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
8/17/2019 - pavel_p Likes this wine: 94 points3 years since my last bottle. Pnp as I do not decant wines if I have no idea where they stand in their evolution. Much improved from 3 years ago. Transparent garnet with slight bricking towards a clear rim. Herbs and spices, more red fruited than what I am used from Poggione, good acidity providing freshness, very elegant and aromatic indeed, slightly drying tannins, good length too. Il Poggione is usually not my preferred style of Brunello but this 2010 is really excellent and the best Poggione I have had. This will last but I will start drinking mine now (short decant only needed). 93-94

8/14/2019 - R.H. Likes this wine: NRCandied (but barely) lemon is a fair tasting note. It still has that puckering acidity that is so distinctive |

2012 Booker Vineyard Grenache The RipperPaso Robles more |
3/10/2019 - UofM Likes this wine: 94 pointsAnother beauty from Booker. Glad I popped this when we did. Don’t see it improving much more with age, but in a sweet spot right now. Strawberry and floral notes. Finish didn’t linger, but definitely left me wanting more.

1/18/2019 - pgrzesik Likes this wine: NRNot going to assign a score to this wine because I do not believe I had an accurate tasting. Brought this wine to a steakhouse in NYC. Had a series of wines that night - 2008 Buccella Katrina Eileen Cuvee and a 2006 Dancing Hares, some really big powerful wines.

5/20/2018 - UFGators Does not like this wine: 88 pointsExtremely dry and acidic. Wood not integrated. Not sure will get better with age. Very little fruit. Too many other good 2010 Brunello to waste money on this one.
