  SLDS February 2021: Oak, pencil shavings, smoke and toasty notes. Plush and full on the palate with plenty of sweetness, the oak adds some backing to keep it in line. Very primary still.

  Bu en succ.
  Pas mal moins convainquant que leur La Casa...plus austère
  et capiteux, style moderne je dirais.
  C'est long, tanique et sur la chauffe.

  Benvenuto Brunello NYC (Gotham Hall): Benvenuto Brunello NYC. Excellent. A few hundred wines here today, and this quite easily distinguished itself among the top of the 2012 Riserva wines being poured. Intense beauty on the nose and palate, and in a single stroke, it put Caparzo back on my radar. Slightly darker in color than the host of 2013 being poured (likely the vintage more than wood/extraction), but in no way any less elegant or exciting that the others in the line up. Fresh, lovely, just getting started, with a very bright future. Buy early, the price is going to go up. 13,5% abv., thru 2038. highly recommended

  Tasted at Benvenuto Brunello NYC. Medium to dark garnet. Nose is pretty layered and complex with cigar box, leather, minerals, and red fruit. Good tannin and acidity for aging and a chewy mouth feel. Flavors are cherry, wet stones, leather and a slightly medicinal note in the fairly short finish. Again the finish is my issue here as in the 2013 Normale and the 2013 La Casa, but overall this has a bit more going for it in terms of depth of flavor and richness. I do wish there was more on the finish however.
