  January 21, 2022 - Summary:
  Piccolomini BDM was the best, Giodo/Macchiole/Sodi also delicious… Sodi continues to outperform it’s price. Flaccianello and Percarlo very tight and questionable even after a few days.
  
  Cepparello: somewhere in the middle
  Giodo BDM: well done, towards the top of the tasting
  Piccolomini Santa Caterina BDM: best wine of the tasting, open for business, great fruit and finish.
  Sodi: as always, a price performer and holds up to the more expensive wines. Some brett/earth with the very dark fruit profile, one of the better wines in the tasting
  Percarlo: unyielding, tight, even after a few nights never opened up. Will it ever?
  Macchiole Paleo: dark chocolate, delicious
  Flaccianello: unyielding and tight, but unlike the Percarlo did open up somewhat night 2 & 3. Needs many years.

  June 5, 2020 - Needs to stay in the cellar for several more years before trying again. High acidity. Decanted for 3 hours.
  
  Nice aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. Each sip made us pucker which took away from the flavors.

  February 26, 2018 - Rich modern Brunello, toasted, dark fruit, ripe. Nice, a bit new worldish. Solid for sure but hard to see it in the upper nineties. I prefer the more traditional light color Brunellos.

  February 18, 2017 - 2010 Brunello Tasting – 12.2016
  Very limited notes (apologies) – all wines were good, one corked Tenuta Nuova, Giodo and Nuova were group fav’s, Gaja’s were darker/bigger in style, Renieri and Siro Pacente least favorite of group.
  
  Mastrojanni – lighter fruit profile, good acid, less tannin, brighter style
  Giodo – wow, really good, right up there w/ the Tenuta Nuova
  Casanovi Tenuta Nuova - group’s favorite. Rich, tannic at first but then opened up.
  Siro Pacente Vecchie Vigne – tannic, early, unimpressive compared to others.
  
  Also tasted: Gaja Sugarille – tannic, short finish; Gaja Rennina bigger wine opened up later; Casanova Neri Cerratalto ripe and rich, Renieri softer, rounder in style
