Community Tasting Notes (4) Avg Score: 94 points

  • A good experience - as always a very fresh and wine - medium+ acidity and tannins - but well integrated - we are getting ripe dark cherries, some cinnamon, menthol and tobacco. A good long aftertaste - still some years to enjoy the wine in - happy to give 94.

  • Opened 3 hours in advance, but not decanted. Fresh, elegant and straight forward, especially the relatively hot vintage taken into consideration. Medium+ acidity and tannin, both beautifully integrated. It delivers ripe dark cherries, cranberries, a dusty earthiness, a hint of cinnamon, tobacco leaves and menthol. The balance is very good and the aftertaste quite long. Lovely winemaking in a challenging vintage.

  • Fresh, elegant and quite cold ind the expression the hot vintage taken into consideration. Medium+ acidity and tannin, both perfectly integrated. It delivers a very pronounced note of stable/earthiness, dark cherries, blackberries, a hint of camphor, some cranberries and roses. Very good balance and a quite long aftertaste. To me it's right in the middle of the drinking window, but still with a lot of life left.

  • Perhaps the best vintage yet? Already so impressive and drinkable, yet lots of potential too. Must be one of the best from this challenging vintage in Montalcino.
