2010 Conti Costanti Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
2/25/2022 - BrunelloBob wrote: 90 pointsThree hour decant and I'd call that a minimum. Better nose than palate and better with food than alone. Red cherry, big mushroom, earthy. Goes more mineral late. This could improve, but I struggle with this producer. 90+ |

As such, this was by far the finest wine I've ever had. It's a shame it's not American. As Grandma said: Spread the Faith.

1997 Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi) Brunello di Montalcino RiservaSangiovese more |
7/15/2019 - Paul S wrote: 96 pointsBiondi-Santi Riserva wine dinner (Taberna, Bukit Merah): Woah. This was a show-stopper. A simply amazing Brunello, starting to show at peak as well. The 1997 vintage character stood out on the nose - it was rich, ripe and warmly generous, with notes of black cherries, plums and dark berries, along earth, meat and dusty mineral, then sprigs of fresh herb and dried flowers, all deeply integrated into a masculine, yet perfumed bouquet. If ever a wine could bring tears to the eyes just by how good it smells: this would be it. Just wow. The palate was amazing too. It had a lovely round sweetness to its flavours of cherries and red berries, infused with warm, fragrant spice on an almost endless finish. Yet it was also a wine of elegant finesse, with velvet tannins and lovely pricks of freshness enlivening it throughout. Perhaps a little less complex than either the stupendous 1990, or the equally brilliant 1985 that shared its flight, but this was so, so good. An utterly lovely, seductively hedonistic bottle of Brunello - I could drink this all day, every day.

I suspect I'm drinking them too young, but I never seem to appreciate Costanti as much as other tasters nor as much as I appreciate many other Brunello.
