Brought by Andrew to Vivat Bacchus. Dark fuited again, spice, some meat and balsam. Sweet plum, florals. This is lovely, melded tannins, rich yet with lovely contrasting acids, good length finish. Drinking beautifully - now and next 5 years or so.

Very dark colored for a 2004 especially compared to the barolo at sat next to. There's a cherry note, a little brett, liqueur finish. It shows like an Italian wine and that color led me to believe that there was some Cabernet blended in here or maybe Syrah. Nope, all sangiovese.

Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Clean/Pure intense cherry fruit with, for me, a perfect mature balance. It has a lovely piercing young acidic cherry fruit combined with the aged flavors of leather, wet leaves and manure. A stunning performance and a wine in a very nice complex balance.

This is absolutely stunning right now! Sour cherry fruit and a touch of sewer and wet leaves but still maintaining a great balance between youth and age. It is amazingly lush and easy to drink and the tannins are very integrated. Stunning wine and it seems to be at its peak right now but it will stay here for a long time. 94-95p

Dunkelrot mit braunen Rändern. In der Nase Holz, Rauch, Kirsche, Salz und ein kleiner Hauch von Eukalyptus. Der erste Schluck kickt direkt: wie gut hat sich das entry Level vom Lisini gehalten. Fabelhafte Süßkirsche auf Zedern, nasser Tabak, Leder, etwas Stein. Absoluter Spaß im Glas. Ein never ending Abgang. Meine Hoffnungen beim öffnen waren ehrlicherweise schon etwas überdurchschnittlich: und wurden mehr als erfüllt. Dekantieren für 1-2 Stunden macht noch einen kleinen Mehrwert, danach schließt er ganz langsam auf hohem Niveau ab. Aufmachen und genießen!
