  This is very good. Deep and intense, earth and leather along with damson notes. full bodied, big structure of course. Long and complex, drinking perfectly now.

  Ravishing. Italian flair through and through but not in that out of control way, this could’ve been more open but was open enough for me. Glossy well managed oak, cranberries, sweet cherries, liquorice. Ripe but also being balanced with that cooling influence at the back. Great stuff!

  Same bottle as Melvin. This was my bottle and while its an excellent BdM, I was still a bit disappointed. Have had other Poggio di Sotto vintages and was hoping for something more elegant in this stellar BdM vintage. But this Poggio was a touch too warm, ripe and big for me relative to the other "B-themed" wines that evening. Could have benefited from a proper decant as I merely slow ox'ed for around 12 hours as no decanter at hand.
  As the wine got a lot of praise around the table, the tasting left me wondering if its rather my own palate preference that is moving further towards cooler Bdx vintages and dry whites.

  Still probably few years away from primetime but starting to hit its stride. Beautifully constructed Brunello, gonna be exceptional in about 7-10 years
