This was on cracking form.
Tonnes of energy and verve. Like a lime sherbet crushed on a wet rock. Goes on and on. Classic PYCM

Proper stuff.
Nose of bell pepper, posh leather, cassis.
The palate is, in a word, delicious, and very youthful and fresh.

Really lux nose of cedar, bright red cherry, pomegranate, anise, a touch of allspice and white pepper - really fancy.
Red fruit leads on the attack with laser like delineation followed by the spice elements before silky fruit comes back on the finish. Wonderfully exciting and balanced wine

2012 MastroJanni Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Loreto

Last bottle of this.
Nose is gorgeous with tomato leaf, leather, tobacco, terracotta and spiced cherry - nice balance of earthiness and purity. Good initial intensity on the palate with some orange peel joining the mix but a bitter streak comes in quite early in the mid palate which then thins out. Initially the palate doesn’t deliver as much as the nose promises but with time and air things improve greatly and it starts to hang together with richer chocolate flavours. A solid wine here

Purchased in La Morra.
This was nice. It starts a little closed with a little oaky element but opens on the nose and palate to clean dark fruit with a touch of wildness. A bit more serious than some other LNs but very nice.

Off the list at Enoteca Turi. Supposedly 50% Sangiovese from the 2016 vintage (amongst others).
Gorgeous nose of perfumed spiced plum, bright cherry, mint and thyme.
Tangy spicy palate with a really lovely sapid streak. Still elegant and lifted and tannins silky and soft. Sad this is so rare and expensive.

Nice tension on the nose between flinty minerality, fresh linen and a little oak sweetness.
Palate quite balanced with richness and weight with just enough cut to keep it all in check. The finish drifts off a touch losing some definition but overall a lovely drop

Nice sapid cherry, umeshu and some savouriness but a light lifted element to it - an ethereal purity to the nose here.
The palate has really intense red cherry and tomato with a delicious lift of acidity to the very long finish. Tannins approachable now.
Wonderful balance of intensity and delicacy.

2/15/2024 - Radders12345 Likes this wine: 91 points

Nose of lemon pith and fresh linen with hint of saline and white florals.

More depth on the palate with the florals coming more to the fore and more complexity to the citrus peel.

Reasonably silky mouthfeel but acidity keeps it all nicely in check.

Rewards a little contemplation but not tonnes of depth - having said that it went well with some fish and chips!

2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

1/25/2024 - Radders12345 Likes this wine: 92 points

Broke dry Jan as had a nightmare 24hrs…
This was the wine to do it.
Nose is everything I’d want sweet cherry, distinct tomato leaf, dry terracotta, and a a little mint and sottobosco.
Palate s but more restrained than the nose on the attack but broadens out delivery the aromas from the nose with some cough linctus and a little oolong tea too. Good lick of acidity and tannins still showing themselves. While the finish is perhaps a little shorter than optimal there is a good refreshing quality to this but perhaps that’s my wine starved tastebuds speaking. Not quite sure where this goes from here given the shortish finish - I have one bottle left which feels right.

My last bottle of this and a good showing.
Nose had sapid cherry and leather - decently balanced primary and tertiary.
On the palate fresh dark cherry, but a sapid tang, a little mint, very refreshing. Good wine and fair QPR though the top of the tree in VNdM doesn’t get to the heights of other nearby appellations

Nose provides cherry, geranium leaf, a little leather.
Juicy cherry but broadens out on the mid palate. Tangy finish with good depth. More to come here one suspects

Nose has a tangy red cherry, that cough linctus element I like. Lovely palate with a deep cherry element to it and good structure. Lovely but maybe not as exciting as it could have been.

Nose is soft and elegant spicy with dark plum, cola.
Lovely deep and sapid plum and blackcurrant and cassis. Tannins hit you a bit. Excellent but not quite as good as the last showing.

This was excellent and shows what barbera can do.
Nose has quite pure plum and some some mint.
Tasty palate with blackcurrant, mint again and acidity has softened with time but all holds together. Classy.

Gorgeous nose - cherry scented posh furniture polish, a little olbas oil. Wild but lovely. There is a deep juicy black cherry and plum here with a lot of spice - there is a wild element here too - “unadorned winemaking” was one description Interesting to try

Light plum, a little coffee on the nose.
Palate has juicy plum and blackcurrant but classic Barbera tang. Alcohol quite pronounced and a bit overdressed with oak vs simplicity which could be the order of the day here

Nose of soft plum with a hint of spice.
Palate delivers more charming plum with an easy juicy finish. Charming and lovely - simple but not trying to be anything else.
