5/4/2024 - Ikesmith wrote: flawedWhen I sat it up to settle the sediment in anticipation of opening tomorrow, the cork slipped down into the bottle, partially floating like a monstorus iceberg. Craziest thing. Port-like, amazing depth of color but sadly dead and down the drain. My birth year wine... on to the next bottle! |

2012 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Our 40th HarvestSangiovese more |
2/19/2024 - Ikesmith Likes this wine: 90 pointsCoravined a few glasses to decant and a taste for myself. I was thinking 93 points but a lot of the delicate scents floated off after an hour. Still nice but I would not decant too long. Plenty of life left just a bit monotone after the initial release of deliciousness. |

12/1/2023 - Ikesmith wrote: 94 pointsBig iodine at PnP. Mellowed into cedar cigar box, black olive, black tea, dry rose. Lots of life. Sadly finished within an hour, I'm sure it contains multitudes given some air. |

10/21/2023 - Ikesmith wrote: 88 pointsBig creosote giving way to intense jalapeño pyrazine trying to hide cherry and strawberry, maybe threshold nail polish VA, at PnP. Like a Marlborough SB pooped out a Pinot. Slowly giving way to some vanilla but I am a bit wary. |
