There’s just no place like Bordeaux. My party drank this following an aged Napa Cabernet. Barnyard and roses. Fantastic and great QPR.

I find this to be too much of everything. Too much alcohol, too much oak/vanilla, too dense, too extracted. Is it well made? Some may say yes but it just depends on your definition. I guess I don’t care if the wine maker accomplished their goal, I don’t like this style of wine so 89 it is. A moderate score to accommodate those who argue with my definition of “well made”.

2007 Piancornello Brunello di Montalcino

A sacrificial lamb in my Brunello tasting that included some heavy hitters. I like to include "normal" wines in such tastings to provide a baseline and keep us attuned to just how good all the other wines are. In this case, I slow ox'd for about 2 hours and drank over 3. The bouquet was lightly off-putting from the beginning (again, relative to Madonnas and Montosolis) and the palate disintegrated by the end of the tasting. Literally couldn't taste anything. Drink soon.
