Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 1990 Il Poggiolo (Cosimi) Brunello di Montalcino Podere

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Weird cheese, soap, pine, iron, dried blood nose. Dilute, surprisingly tannic, acidic palate with virtually no fruit left, revealing a metallic element reminiscent of sucking on pennies. Pretty tired.

  • 1991 Tenuta Friggiali Brunello di Montalcino 91 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Beautiful nose of dried flowers, resin, baking spice, burnt cherry skin. Sour cherry, cranberry, cedar on the palate paired with bright acidity makes this a classic old Sangiovese.

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 1991 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino 92 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Sappy, pine resin, spicy cherry, autumn leaves, whiff of cigar smoke on the nose. Intense acidity, cedar, tobacco palate with nice development. Very nice.

  • 1995 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 90 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Incense, medicinal cherry, burnt orange, and french oak on the nose. Rich, deep, leather, plum & chocolate palate. Lots of fruit and stuffing, if a bit simple.

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2006 Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 78 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Chocolate, vanilla, nestle quik, cherry cordials, plum. This is plump, sweet, very internationally styled, and shows tons of raw French oak in an unappealing way. If you only like fat Cali Cabs and want to drink something Italian, try this. Yuck.

  • 2006 Tenuta di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    Stinky, vaguely sulfury, green, burnt chemical nose. Awkward, showing some stemminess and oak alongside fresh pine and very dense tannin. No idea what to make of this, but it isn't very enjoyable now.
