2012 Tenuta Corte Pavone Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
5/10/2019 - CO_Roots13 wrote: 91 pointsDrank from a 375ml as part of a 2012 BdM tasting - 3 hours of slo-ox. Nice nose showing that hit first with a floral quality, and then leads into leather, jammy dark red fruit, wet leaves, and am over all fresh tone. The pallet is extremely fresh and round, yet there is a strong tannic backbone and fun complexity. Loads of the fresh, yet deep, red fruit hit first, followed by cocoa nips with element of pine sap. The finish lingers a bit with tobacco and vanilla rounding out the juicy black cherry top note. Very good now, and will probably be outstanding with some age (95+). |

10/9/2015 - CO_Roots13 wrote: 97 pointsThis was the kind of experiance that confirms how short life is. Drinking an amazing bottle of wine that went to sleep before WWI and awoke when Greece nearly went out of business 115 years later. Marcona almond, meyer lemon zest, nougat, honey suckle and so many other things that I can't put works to. Incredible balance between sweetness, texture and acidity. The nose lends to a prediction of thick syrupy texture, but the reality is an amazingly light and clean low viscosity. The acidity completely accounts for the sweetness. Exceedingly long length on the finish.

6/15/2014 - salua wrote: 80 pointsThe cork disintegrated. The wine has browned off, has a funky nose (at a minimum slightly oxidized). Very dry, limited fruit that drops off very quickly. Food can't rescue this vino...only cover up its limitations. My guests declined to finish their glasses, which say sit all. We quickly moved on to a 01 Tignanello..which was superb. A very disappointing Garagiste purchase.

6/11/2014 - Oineus Likes this wine: 93 pointsI strongly disagree with the previous post. Yes, this wine needs food (scaloppine ai capperi, for example), but that does not mean it can for that reason not go beyond 90 pts. This is superbly aged Nebbiolo; even if there is still good fruit there, it's not for those who identify good red with parkerized fruit bombs.
