  Another WOTN candidate. While this is young and stuffed with rich, concentrated fruit its also bright and seamless, which allows the spice and herb complexities to come out and play. Among the elite Brunellos here.

  Sangiovese study (Chicago, IL): Outrageously good. This is the sort of wine that really drinks in the style that I personally really like. Perfumed, clean, and crystalline red fruit, with the nose showing true to type with tart red cherries and dried herbs. The palate shows a little leather, but mostly focusses on the red fruit. Brilliant acidity, sweet fruit, and great concentration. Drinking very well now; but with plenty of gas left in the tank.

  Mag Dinner 2021 (Il Giallo, Sandy Springs, GA): From magnum; great nose but a bit richer and more advancement than I'd expect from PdS from this vintage and format, lacy cherry and berry complicated by a kiss of brown sugar and balsamic, tanned leather, sandalwood, wilted roses, smells heavier and tastes a bit richer but the great acids keep everything tidy on the finish, tannins are another thing I love about these wines and they showed like a caressing hug; very good.

  Compared to the 2001 Soldera Riserva, this showed another side of Sangiovese. From the get-go, it showed far more savory notes than the Soldera, and less pure fruit notes. To my palate, that seemed to exaggerate the acidity somewhat. However, the PdS had very complex notes of saddle leather, smoke, and earth that made it seem like a more contemplative wine than the Soldera, which was just brimming with sweet fruit. However, while the Soldera seemed to show very similarly throughout the evening, the PdS improved greatly by the end of the night, when deliciously sweet cherry started to emerge on the palate. Combined with the savory complexity that was already there...well need I say more. This needs a few more years in bottle, IMHO.
