Community Tasting Note

• Macdog Likes this wine:

  August 20, 2021 - At Sir Charles Napier from 1/2 bottle. Served a bit warm for my liking even for a Brunello (which pisses me off but not as much as me complaining pisses my wife off so i said nothing). Quite light and nicely balanced. A fair whack of tannin at the moment that I presume will integrate as this ages. I enjoyed it and will look to buy some for the cellar. Eric Guido's note is accurate (i would only add a herbaceous note and my point re tannin at the mo) and i would say so is his score of 94 which is pretty close to the current CT average of 93.

  10/7/21, 9:03 PM - which version of pieve santa restitute are you reviewing? Normale Brunello di Montalcino (Gold Label, blended brunello), rennina, or sugarille? I am asking because the eric Guido rating of 94 points you refer to was for Rennina. This Cellar Tracker entry is for the normale. there is no Guido rating (or any other reviewer) for the normale.
