2018 Belpoggio Rosso di Montalcino Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino

Beautiful bouquet with fresh cherries, some earthy impressions and some pepper. On the palate firm acidity in the start, cherries and raspberries, earthy and some pepper. The acidity is pleasant and makes the wine juicy and elegant. Very nice, but not very complex wine. 88 - 89

Dark purple red. The bouquet is still a bit locked with cherries and vanilla from the oak. On the palate cherries, chocolate, firm acidity and a slight touch of sweetness. Plenty of oak which is not really integrated yet.

The bouquet is still locked, but shows red berries and cherries, earth and some pleasant stable smells. On the palate a very juicy start with cherries and raspberries, beautifully fresh acidity, and tannin with a nice bite. In the finish a tiny bit of sweetness. Beautiful wine which will improve over the next 10+ years. 91 – 92+

2020 Longridge Sangiovese The Silk Weaver South Africa, Coastal Region, Stellenbosch
Very special and funky bouquet with matchbox flavors. On the palate the funkiness is less dominant, cherries, strawberries, and quite delicate. Good and fresh acidity. I don't score the wine for now, but I hope to taste it again in five years or so.

2017 Belpoggio Brunello di Montalcino Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
94 points
Beautiful and complex bouquet with cherries, autumn impressions, mint, herbs and spices, earth and well dosed oak. On the palate beautiful and juicy cherries, strawberries, herbs and spices, mineral impressions and beautiful oaky tastes. A truly great wine. Will probably even show more finesse with 3 – 5 years of ageing. 93 – 94+

2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di Montalcino Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
93 points
The bouquet shows cherries, herbs and spices, autumn forest and mature impressions. On the palate a juicy wine with beautiful acidity, chocolate, coffee and leather. A bit drying tannin and a good length. We drank the 2006 beside it and this 2010 gave a more mature appearance, but no doubt the tannin promises some more years. Delicious wine.
