| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 22 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Bobbusch on 1/8/2023 & rated 93 points: Decanted for an hour. Tight at first, but opened up to demonstrate a nicely made wine. Fruit still showing through. I would say that this wine is nearing its window to drink (385 views) | | | Tasted by pdadams66 on 12/26/2018 & rated 91 points: Deep dark center, red rim with age.
Dense red fruit, burnt edges, oranges, smooth and a little sweet, very good length.
Drinking well now, intense Brunello. (1463 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 1/28/2018 & rated 94 points: Priming my palate for Benvenuto Brunello tomorrow, I thought it was time to check in on the 2004 Capanna Riserva. The nose was dark with depths of mineral-infused blackberry, dried strawberry, violet florals, cinnamon, mint, and hints of underbrush. On the palate, I found silky, pliant textures, with a wave of brisk acidity, tart cherry, saline-minerals and savory herbs, which cut through its soft textures like a hot knife, providing a very powerful expression. The finish was long with zesty red and black fruits, leather, savory herbs, spice and hints of fine tannin which grew stronger with each sip.
This is one of the best '04 Brunellos that I've tasted in a long time and should continue to evolve for many years to come.

(2036 views) | | | Tasted by nwebstar on 1/7/2017 & rated 93 points: Quite evolved but wonderfully round and flavourful. Seemed to improve with air time and became very moreish - lovely balance of fruit and spice, nicely structured. Perhaps a little heavier than expected and a bit more dark fruited. A terrific wine. (2271 views) | | | Tasted by pdadams66 on 9/19/2016 & rated 91 points: At 50th. (From memory).
Deep dark center, balance of deep red fruit and structure.
Great Brunello, drinking well now, will last another 5+ years. (1636 views) | | | Tasted by vilepotabissabinum on 12/25/2014: Slightly prickly tannins round the edges but definitely approachable...nice, mellow, smokysweet funk to the nose flowing seamlessly into the palate, where there is good concentration, good balance, and a long finish. (2909 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 1/17/2014 flawed bottle: Friday Night Double Blind Tasting $40+ (Bin 75): Burnt bottle. Brown rim; soy, tar, brown fruit, fiercely tannic. (3920 views) | | | Tasted by eBoB on 4/6/2013 & rated 90 points: Gleboki rubinowy kolor. Zapach koziego sera, wilgotnej ziemi. Smak zielonego pieprzu, suszone sliwki. Wino daje sygnaly, ze zmierza ku wygasnieciu.

V13 Price: 139,75PLN - $43.67 (4826 views) | | | Tasted by rhit on 1/6/2013: Taut and expressive, this was drinking well, but a little more time would probably mellow it nicely. Lots of tart fruit with lengthy mineral and tar flavors. Its structure made it great match for bolognese despite a bit of warmth. I'd happily drink this again. (4197 views) | | | Tasted by nkredich on 11/4/2012 & rated 92 points: Classic Brunello. 2 hr decant helped mellow the tannins. Really solid wine worth drinking now. (4240 views) | | | Tasted by Peselli on 6/19/2011 & rated 95 points: Me and my father bought this wine on a trip at Tuscany on Bonatti wine store! This is the best wine I ever drink! (5317 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 2/8/2011 & rated 94 points: The Italian Wine Masters (Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York): The 2004 Riserva showed a gorgeous nose of dusty dark berries with soil and dark woodsy notes. On the palate, this showed remarkable richness yet refinement as flavors of sour strawberry and spiced herbal tea tantalized the senses. The finish gave way to palate coating tannin, which should keep the concentration on the palate in check for some years to come. This is a wine that I choose for my own cellar and will be very happy to enjoy in its maturity. (6678 views) |

U.S. Importer (addt'l info)SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (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) |
