Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 21 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Joshvoulters on 12/27/2022 & rated 89 points: Interesting- has some elements of focus and elegance as you’d expect from ‘13 but also a bit of raisiny character and tertiary evolution relatively young. It’s not a totally successful hybrid but there is a lot to like: identifiably Brunello, rich herbal cherry and liquorice on the nose, medium bodied with quite refined tannins on the palate and a really focused cherry liqueur flavour, slightly drying finish (761 views)
 Tasted by Ericsson on 2/5/2021 & rated 89 points: Magnum, bu sur 2 jours, meilleur le second.
Pas mon préféré vu son niveau d'acidité très élevé mais peut-être qu'elle va disparaître avec les années, mais je ne le saurai pas vu qu'il ne m'en reste plus. (1882 views)
 Tasted by R2-D2 on 7/20/2020 & rated 88 points: Punchy, tart fruit. Hard to evaluate after a fair amount of Spanish wine. Not quite as intense or complex as I have experienced. (1939 views)
 Tasted by RenatoDN on 3/20/2020 & rated 82 points: Muito bom! Fácil de beber, bem macio no paladar. (2123 views)
 Tasted by _Alex_ on 3/15/2020 & rated 92 points: Mørkrød, men fortsatt litt gjennomsiktig farge. Roseblomster, grønne urter med balsamiske toner, fint treverk, kanskje litt lakris og kirsebær. Faste tanniner som mykner noe etterhvert i karaffel, og god friskhet. Veldig ung enda, men kanskje kommet i starten av drikkevinduet. Medium fylde. Kompleks og elegant Brunello som sto godt til lasagne! (2145 views)
 Tasted by jb@jbisme.com on 12/24/2019 & rated 91 points: Still young. Punchy tannins off the bat. A little raisin on the nose and palate with a background of cola the first few sips. Deep cherry syrup flavor after opening for 30+ minutes. (2016 views)
 Tasted by Niels Z on 11/22/2019 & rated 89 points: Nicely structured Brunello which has aged for 38 months on large French oak barrels. Lovely (and already moderately subtle) tannins.

Well-balanced acidity but also some sweeter notes with licorice and blackberry. Furthermore notes of earth, leather & vanilla along with ripe cherry. Longlasting finish.

Perhaps still a bit too structured and closed, so I'm curious to see how this wine will develop in a few years. (94 WE, 93 WS, 92 RP) (319 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/17/2019: The second vintage that they completely did if I caught that right. And that is still tight. A very elegant wine. (1564 views)
 Tasted by zackmayo on 9/30/2019 & rated 94 points: Great value! Young and affordable and very good! (1138 views)
 Tasted by Ericsson on 8/1/2019 & rated 88 points: Magnum. Ouvert 90 minutes avant dégustation.
Robe rubis, nez joliment aromatique mais l’acidité en bouche est beaucoup trop présente.
A revoir (936 views)
 Tasted by zackmayo on 7/31/2019 & rated 92 points: Nice after an hour for being so young (934 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 2/7/2019: That has gorgeous perfume to it. They really like the Brunello 2013. Balsamic character and soft on the palate but good grip and acidity on the back end. Will go much longer. (1137 views)
 Tasted by AudunG on 10/9/2018 & rated 91 points: Cool and delicate aromas of fresh berries. Pure, tart and savoury on the palate, with fine tannins. (957 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 4/26/2018 flawed bottle: Corked! (1076 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 4/26/2018: That is delicious. Full of roses. Wow. (1246 views)
 Tasted by Tim Heaton on 2/19/2018: Benvenuto Brunello 2018, Montalcino centro; 2/16/2018-2/19/2018 (Montalcino): (Benvenuto Brunello, 2018, Montalcino) Of their three wines being poured today, this was the only one I found interesting/good. Brick red>ruby, a touch international on the nose (e.g. compote, toffee), though with some good soil and varietal notes firmly in the background, too. It's clean, balanced, with good purity. A good surprise. 14,0% abv., drink now thru 2034. recommended

 Tasted by Eric Guido on 1/29/2018 & rated 92 points: A Season of Change: 2013 Brunello di Montalcino: The nose showed crushed cherry, spice, dried flowers, and minerals, yet it was a bit dried out. On the palate, I found soft textures with cherry, licorice and inner florals, in an airy and fresh expression. The finish was long with spicy cherry saturating deep, along with a coating of fine tannin. (2423 views)

Sangiovese

SANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]

Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.
