| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 26 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JuliannaD on 10/9/2021 & rated 91 points: Not a stand out but very good. Plenty of cherry and plum fruit and hint of leather. Not overly complex. (1359 views) | | | Tasted by Two Winos on 8/31/2019 & rated 90 points: I think a short decant would be helpful at this stage, otherwise, i'd wait a couple more years to dive into this. The fruit is there and very nice, but there is a slight harshness on opening, maybe from tannins, that needs time to blow off. 15 or 20 mins was fine in the glass. Once the harshness dissipated, there still seemed to be some under development. Again, I think a couple of more years in the cellar might bring it to where it should be. I'm skeptical that this will be much better than a 92 point wine. (1716 views) | | | Tasted by EMTAME on 1/20/2016 & rated 86 points: This just never came together in the way I'd hoped. The fruit is overshadowed by the acidity at this point. (4445 views) | | | Tasted by moega on 6/10/2015 & rated 90 points: A little young and lighter purple at this stage, however, this was very smooth, good finish and quite delicious. (4633 views) | | | Tasted by bpgodfrey@comcast.net on 5/18/2015 & rated 90 points: Light-bodied, smooth and delicious (4822 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 4/9/2015 & rated 90 points: UWS (@ JB): In the bouquet cherries, some oak and autumn impressions. On the palate mainly red, but also dark forest fruits, a firm amount of acidity and sticky tannin. Beautiful wine. This wine will benefit with 4 - 6+ years of ageing. So around 2020. 89 - 90 (4606 views) | | | Tasted by Christine Havens on 3/25/2015 & rated 90 points: The Nardi Brunello Di Montalciano 2008 evokes a warm, still afternoon in a deciduous forest, the sort where you can hear twigs snapping under your feet. Splendid, woodsy aromas of forest floor, brambles, dried leaves, mushrooms, and dried black cherries. Silky and voluptuous on the palate, with firm, polished tannins that plunge into the substrata—densely packed layers of calcareous earth, sandstone, and marl surface against a backdrop of black fruit. Dried herbs, cedar and tobacco on a lingering finish. (4109 views) | | | Tasted by TrueLoker on 2/18/2015 & rated 90 points: Good nose and balance (2112 views) | | | Tasted by EMTAME on 12/13/2014 & rated 89 points: Beautiful translucent ruby in the glass. The nose is a fairly reticent at this young stage but, with extended air, it offers up hints of fresh cherry pie and humidor. Tart cherry, red currant, pipe tobacco, and orange marmalade suggestions are present on the palate. The finish is long and marked by slightly woody tannins. This is a bit lean and tight at the moment but, if it opens up with additional cellaring, it could be a real treat. (1600 views) | | | Tasted by NostraBacchus on 9/18/2014 & rated 92 points: Very aromatic with beautiful notes of dark red cherries, plums, tobacco, cedar wood and some flowers and dried herbs. It's medium+ bodied with medium-high acidity and medium+ tannin that is very silky. Good length. A super elegant Brunello with a lot of Finesse. To be honest, I liked it better than their top wine "Manachiara 2007" next to it... (2629 views) | | | Tasted by Coachron13 on 5/28/2014 & rated 88 points: Very mild, muted fruit on the nose and palate. A decent value for the $26 we paid but not enough there to try to find more. (2136 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 6/21/2013 & rated 90 points: Drank in Tuscany
Nose of Cherries, earth, tobacco and spice. Nice smooth mouth feel. (2755 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Tenute Silvio Nardi Producer websiteSangioveseSANGIOVESE: (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.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteBrunello di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino (Official DOCG website) |
