  • We just dusted off a few bottles that have been cellared at the source in Montalcino. Beautiful wine with maybe a little time left; Drinking close to peak. Subtle sour cherry, notes of pencil and spice. Leather. Palate matches the nose with smooth tannins and still some fresh acidity. Showing age with obvious brick change at the rim fading into a subtle garnet. It did need some time in air. This was an immaculately stored bottle so seems to have some time left but I plan to drink our remaining bottles soon.

  • Absolutely wonderful bottle. Color very deep red of af mature wine. Bouquet, taste and finish textbook Brunello of what one might call the classic style. I first read of Brunello from the printed catalogue of Village Corner in the early 1980's. Dick Scheer said the three great Brunelli were Biondi Santi, Conti Costanti and Fattoria dei Barbi. Never had Biondi Santi but Costanti and Barbi have been great. Perfect mature Brunello. The most elegant, complex sangiovese wine one can find. Bravi.

  • Brownly color. Unpleasant nose with signs of premox. Much better on the palate: reduced red fruit, cherries but also a bit of plum. Round but drying out, at the end of development which is unusual for the year. Probably a bad bottle.

  • Vinturi aerated with a one hour decant. Cedar, mushroom and earthy nose. Medium body, tannins slightly drying but pleasing and integrated. Blackberry fruit dominates with some vegetal notes. Med long finish. The wine continued to soften in the glass. A delicious wine significantly improved from my last bottle July/18.
