April 26, 2024 - Faded. We decanted for 20 minutes, then sipped just before dinner was served. Mushroom-y nose, a bit off, thin cherry fruit. Taste was similar. I grabbed an emergency CDP just in case …
Redemption with the meal. We Ian-grilled steaks Glorentine style, and the brunello came to life. Still some mushroom on the nose, but the fruit emerged on the palate: ripe cherries, plums, berries. Enough tannins and acidity to hold up against the rich meat
Do not wait - this wine is nearing its shelf life. -

January 27, 2024 - Intense nose with soy and raisins, quite portlike. Really powerful rich and big but tasty, very savoury but also sweet fruit. A pretty long finish with fine tannins. Modern and not much sangiovese here, so dont expect a lot of elegance, but anyway fun to taste again.

December 24, 2023 - So so good. Christmas Eve dinner just paired nicely with the entire meal. Really really different Bonello. Enjoyed it immensely tannins smoothed out but still there providing a bit of body to the wine fruit and terroir nicely blended. Just enjoyed it.

December 1, 2023 - Decanted for an hour then poured back into the bottle to serve.
This is just how you want a mature Brunello to be. Powerful, concentrated, but also silky smooth.
Deep garnet with some bricking at the edges. Mainly tertiary notes on the nose - smoke, tobacco, soy sauce, balsamic, a hint of manure. On the palate it’s meaty with dark cherry fruit as well as some saltiness. Finish lasted about a minute. Exceptional.
Based on some of the other reviews, it seems like I got a good bottle.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 28, 2023 - @ Eulalie. Decanted a couple of hours before enjoying. Almost the entire group blinded this as Bordeaux. In retrospect, the weight should have been a give away. A really lovely and intriguing wine, especially with food.
