First sip and I knew I had the winner here.
The smell is a huge load of tobacco and coffee, but wait, it's not bad, because on one hand they seem to dominate, but on the other hand they are in perfect harmony with black cherry, prunes, earth, barnyard, milk chocolate, oak and vanilla. Taste - if you wonder what kind of nectar Greek gods had in Olympia, then this wine gets as close as possible! Red cherry covered with milk chocolate.
...prunes mixed with tobacco, black cherry next to black coffee ( very strong flavor), but what is most interesting about the taste, that acidity and tannins show almost in finish, that is very long with spice, red fruits, smooth acidity and grippy (!) tannins. What a mixture!
Why not perfect 99 or 100 points?
You can believe it or not, but this wine is a little bit too sweet for me 😱
Third glass - very juicy, very addictive, very long finish.
I would mention that it looks like delicious young wine, but of course nobody will believe me.
Vintage 1985 in Brunello di Montalcino was generally regarded as excellent. The wines from this vintage tend to be well-structured, with good acidity and aging potential. Many of them have developed complex flavors over the years, making them sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. If you have the opportunity to try or acquire a Brunello from 1985, it could be a memorable experience.
This is not my opinion, it's ChatGTP one 🙂

| 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) |
