Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
Top notch. Solid fruit of dried cherries, firm tannins with plenty of acid. Well balanced, with a rich streak. Drinking pretty well now, surprisingly, but integration over time should make this outstanding.

Elegant and distinct. Pretty red and black cherry, with complex spice aromatics. Nice tannic grip and juicy acid. Very drinkable right now, but still a baby. This should be very nice with time. Structured and balanced.

Was anticipating a big modern very ripe wine here but was surprised to find only moderately ripe cherry with firm tannins. The acid is lacking and overall the wine is a bit flat.

Big stuff. Lots of rich cherry with a port-like note. Seems like one of those that will transform style with time. Fruit dominates, for now.

A decent easy drinker. If this is under $20, then it's just right for a quick p/u dinner bottle.

Strong aroma of old manure. Something is not right here and I hope it is just a bad bottle. Strange that it would be poured by the representative.
