  Had at D”Angelo in Boca. At a beautiful place, will probably go a while but no reason to wait

  An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Double Blind] This pours medium ruby in the glass. Bit of an odd nose showing significant ripe plum, so ripe it almost feels pruney, but perhaps not quite that far. Also on the nose an gingerbread note, red apple, and dark cherry. The palate enters on classic sangiovese cherry, with medium tannin, and medium acid, and a finish that closes on that overt plum character of the nose. While very much intact and not at all in decline, this didn't really deliver appealing secondary or tertiary character that would merit a higher score. Fairly straightforward stuff. On reveal I might have expected a little more from this wine as I have enjoyed Altesino's normale quite a lot in other vintages.

  Past it’s prime and turning now. Drinkable, but barely. A shadow of it former self.

  Wonderful, classic Brunello drinking perfectly at this time. Very smooth opening & finish with aromas of berry and earthy tones, and tastes of light berry and vanilla. Highly recommended!

  A typically glorious “last bottle of the case” moment last night. Perfect Sangiovese with burgundian poise. Delicious floral, sweet and sour cherries with imperceptibly soft chalky tannins. Finishes fresh, satisfying and long.
