Flight 1 (1 note)
Red
2004 Carbonaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
80 points
The nose, fruity with marzipan is not unpleasant but doesn't inspire.
Very dry, quite pleasant, simple, doesn't warant keeping.

Quite dumb.
Warm, spicy, good acidity and tannins, some baked fruit, needs time to develop.

Rich complex flowery but with pronounced oak.
Fruity attack, great balance, quite moreish, needs loads of time to develop but it's drinking quite well now.

A lovely mixed bouquet of cherries, vegetables and meaty farmyard.

2003 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino
93 points
Gorgeous fruit, a lot of complex development and a hint of oak.
Oak greets the mouth, then spice and lots of fruit, far too youthful for now, will be great in 10 - 20 years.

Red
2003 Pian Delle Vigne (Antinori) Brunello di Montalcino
95 points
Complex welcoming aromas of fermenting vegetation, new leather, sweet red fruits and some savoury notes.
Luscious fruit and great balance, just about approachable now but this is infanticide. A great wine, albeit rather oaky still.
