2016 Poggio DELL'AQUILA Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

12/5/2023 - XK Does not like this wine:

84 points

Very muted. Alcohol stings in the nose. Some leathery aroma. Some kind of fruit hard candy. 4h decant did not help. On the contrary, it seemed more concentrated right out of the bottle.

Very high acidity, not integrated well. Medium tannins. Apart from that? Minor tertiary flavours.

I bought this wine cheap and it is teaching me a lesson. I did a lot better in the past with that kind of money.

Day 2, which equals a 26h decant: flat on the nose, softer on the palate, but still no meaningful flavours. Length: short.

50h after decanting: this would be an okay Rosso di Montalcino now. Still, nowhere near the BdM I tasted so far.

Of course, I am no expert on BdM.
