4/20/2024 - IV+ Likes this wine: 93 pointsWe had this with lamb shanks in wine sauce (prepared with Rupert & Rothschild classique 2018). Sour cherry on the nose. Likewise on the palate, med intensity, with lots of juicy acidity. Tannins need more time to resolve. Med+ length. While this is drinking well now, in particular with food, there’s certainly an upside; 94pts in 5 years, 95 in 10? |

4/20/2024 - kuumies wrote: NRAn awfully pure-fruited and pretty red-toned nose of cherry, leather, tobacco, a hint of licorice and minerally tones. On the palate it is easy-going and lightweight with bright, savory fruit expression and refreshing acidity. Markedly lively and enjoyable and of course extremely food friendly. More on the red side of the spectrum with Chianti-esque qualities. Has a transparent and authentic feel to it. Perhaps some roughness on the edges but it’s not rustic, more geared towards elegance actually with its proportions, lift and fruit quality. |

4/17/2024 - Joshvoulters Likes this wine: 93 pointsSoave & Brunello (Anima e Cuore): I've had a few of these over the years and it's always hit the spot- gorgeous - very much resolved and ready, but it'll stay at this plateau for a while. Spiced cherry and raspberry, baked earth, rose and crunchy autumn leaves. A subtle hint of bretty animal goodness. It has a louche self-confidence - relaxed about the fact it's a stunner. Cherry on the palate, framed by food-friendly acid and smooth, fine but present tannins, a touch of chew on the finish. |

4/8/2024 - Horichdaslicht Likes this wine: 97 pointsPerfect integration of ripe fruit and grippy but gentle tannin. hints of bitter chocolate on the palate, cloves & leather on the nose, and a superb foil for the gaminess of roasted porcini mushroom Tagliatelle. |

4/7/2024 - NimiumVinum wrote: 89 pointsNice easy drinker. I was a little underwhelmed at first - it was nice, well balanced, but lacking a little for the price... but it really came into its own with food. Expressive floral palate with an earthy savoury backing (more dry earth than the burgundian wet earth expression). Nicely made wine |

3/27/2024 - bordeaux4wino Likes this wine: 90 pointsExcellent wine that held up well after 20 years...although I may have done well to drink this 2-3 years ago. Still, nice moderate, but firm tannins, elegant red fruit of cherries and well developed characters of leather, butcher shop meat, herb and tea. Had to finish the bottle several hours after we started...there was no letting this sit for a second night. |

3/17/2024 - bacchus of knockholt wrote: 88 pointsRuby with some bricking on the rim. Red cherry and the oak is still present on the nose and palate- basically, a little dried out. Struggled with this wine over many years of working my way through the 6 bottles I had and, for me, it’s never been quite right for a Brunello di Montalcino. Last bottle and good riddance! |

2/24/2024 - jrick Likes this wine: 90 pointsA nice Rosso, maybe not quite living up up the above average price? Darket fruit and minerality, a bit salty, balsamic and smooth. Very South of the Montalcino hill. |

2/24/2024 - repoper wrote: 93 pointsSlow oxed all day and then into a decanter for an hour before I poured a small taste. Beautiful electric ruby color. The nose jumps out with a blast of cloves, strawberry jam, and dark cherries, baking spices, nutmeg and some charcoal. Great dancing nose that recalling strutting its stuff. Full mouthful of cherries, bitter oranges but the tannins are still prevalent. I hope they recede over the next few hours as this sits. |

12/26/2023 - NickA Likes this wine: 93 pointsChristmas 2023; 12/24/2023-12/26/2023 (Home): Magnum. A taste of another magnum a couple of months back suggested this wine was right in the zone, and so it proved: a relatively humble wine that was the best red of the festive period. No trace of anything cooked or pruney despite the torrid vintage, just excellent depth of beautifully ripe fruit, a touch of cedar and some seasoning from the beginnings of tertiary development. The wine was quite reminiscent of a St Emilion, in fact, but the high acidity made it an even better match for the buffet. |
