Really perplexed by this. Reduction, slate, gunpowder and smoke, savoury and resinous. None of the white peach or dusted cocoa that the box-insert described. Definitely very energetic, pretty long, but that reduction on the nose had me checking and re-checking that it wasn't corked (somm thought it fine).

Lovely oaky savoury frame around steely core. Not about the ripe fruit. Long finish.

Glycern, lanolin, thick and rich. Sour white peach. Very different, very enjoyable.

Dark and glossy, well-balanced. Classic nose, but more tar and wet earth than roses; quite dark. Very fine tannins

Softer and sweeter than the 2012 Poggione Brunello which preceded it, more red fruit and more flowing. Decanter describes "grace and stealth" - nice.

WoTN? Luscious, sweet fruits and dark earth, really compelling. Complex yet seamless.

Made by a female winemaker who cuts her vineyards by hand, at night at specific phases of the lunar calendar. She also plays music to her vines. Dense and sweet, sweetness enhanced by the Ornellaia 2007 which preceeded it. Rasins. Well balanced and restrained. VG with blue cheese.

From halves. Like drinking pineapple, with dried apricots and peach. Still clean and fresh. Good.

A bit much for me on its own
