September 11, 2022 - Intense, enchanting aromas of strawberry and macerated cherry with herbs and toasted spices. Throw in some campfire smoked game. Wow. Voluptuous, buoyant fruit joyfully bounces across the palate. Plenty of remaining grip. In a peak spot.
November 27, 2020 - 2020, amirite? :(
May 21, 2020 - Well balanced and complex mature tase. Deep taste of cherries, red berries and raisins. Very smooth in the mouth and very nice rusty color.
The bottle had been stored well and the cork was in perfect quality. In my opinion this is ready to drink now and will not last for more than 3-4 years before it starts to go downhill.
February 23, 2020 - A very complex and savoury wine with notes of teak, bitter chocolate, root vegetables, leather and earth. The palate is calm and even, with vinous sweetness at its heart and all sorts of earthy nuance. Each sip reveals something different and it is a cerebral drink of great character and class.
July 13, 2019 - The wine looks crimson colored. It had moderate tannins and was closed at the first pour. Opened nicely. It had medium legs. It tasted of mushroom, cassis and violet. Its body was medium/full. The wine had silky texture that developed in the glass. The wine finished very long.
May 13, 2017 - Popped and poured and ready to go out of the shoot. Tannins were still present, but by no means was this a blocker to enjoying this wine. Somewhat muted nose of strawberry and I detected some earth tones as well. It will definitely hold for a few more years, but this seems to me to be in the prime drinking window.
May 1, 2016 - P&P then drank over several hours. Very mature color, spicy, woody, tart nose. This is a nice food wine. Still has relatively lively palate and the fruit is settled. Wont get better, so drink now.
Lots of secondary flavors, but seemed a bit ...eh...to be in the end.
January 18, 2015 - Wow! Classy, amazing brunello. very elegant aroma of red fruits and berries. deep dark red colour. Leather, tobacco. Powerful. lots of tanin. Drink now-2020
July 11, 2014 - Dark purple with no sign of maturity. Glorious nose of cherry and floral elements. Ready to drink with no tannin. balanced palate of sour cherry, spice, leather, cedar and minerality. Nice finish w/o a hint of bitterness. Drank this with an 04 and a 98 riserva. Neither of them were ready to drink just yet. i liked the 00 better than the 04, and the riserva which is a much bigger wine needs more time. All 3 very nice with upside potential.
February 21, 2014 - It's a fact: Brunellos di Montalcino from Biondi Santi need a minimum of 2 hours aeration. It is impressive how it change over time. The aromas of this wine are complex. Flowers, dried fruit, leather, wet earth and clove alternate. The acidity and pasta with sausage and meat sauce match perfectly. This is a distinct wine.
