January 17, 2022 - This has become a very fine drop indeed! Austere some years ago, it evolved into a very balanced wine, very noble, restrained and not at all over cooked or heat suffering. The length is all subtlety, the well integrated wood supports a nice acidity and nice notes of thyme, basil, crushed rocks, tobacco and even mint. Not invasive, just elegant and structured. given some experiences with Fattoi wines from the 80s, this is a potential long distance runner.

October 23, 2021 - A good yet also on the generic side of things and sort of goes away the minute this is drank. Nothing to fault it and a solid 89-90 but not a memorable experience albeit not consumed at ideal conditions.

December 25, 2020 - Brick red color with aromas of red berry, currents hint of cedar. Dry Medium body, high acid and tannin, but the tannins are softening giving a long finish. Flavors of tart red cherry and current

October 10, 2020 - Decanted two bottles. Lovely ruby showing a little brick around the rim. Decent fruit with refined tannins taking you to a lingering finish.

December 28, 2019 - 1 hour decant and paired with pizza.
Light red color. Sour cherry, balsamic, orange peel, sweet cherry and menthol on nose - excellent. Palate was similar ex. menthol. Medium+ body, medium+acidity, medium tannins and very long finish. Really enjoyed this - nice old school Brunello. 93-94 range. First I've had from this producer since 2007. Will buy some more.1 person found this helpful Comment
