May 4, 2023 - Absolutely stunning. Fresh dark cherry fruit and a lovely refreshing acidity. The tannins are fine and polished and it is in a great drinking window right now! Great wine!

December 25, 2022 - La dernière et la meilleure de nos bouteilles.
Ouvert et servi immédiatement.
Quel délice, tout est en équilibre, il reste du beau fruit et la texture est magnifique.

July 23, 2021 - I was surprised to see that I haven’t published any notes on this over the past years. This is my second to last bottle. And I’m very happy to see that this wine has probably arrived ‘a point’ by now!
Medium-light ruby/red color with remarkable little signs of aeging yet. Enticing aroma’s with cherry, blackcurrant and leather at the core with some basalmic notes, hay, wet earth, red licorice, laurel and cedar evolving with every swirl. A silky smooth mouthfeel with balanced acidity and some sweet fruit. The finish is very long and echoes the initial aromas.
The bottle was only open for one hour when I wrote down this note. It didn’t lose any of its facinating complexity over the 4 hours we consumed the bottle.
It is nice to see some of the ‘04 and ‘06 Brunello from my own cellar arrive at that ultimate balance of vibrance and smoothness with an enticing complexity. Just like I first came to know Brunello in the late nineties by drinking some ‘85. It’s been a fascinating journey ever since. And this Querce Bettina a memorable testimony of it.1 person found this helpful Comment -

May 24, 2021 - Stunning performance. Lush and fresh cherry fruit with a solid acidity and harsh tannins. There is a good deal of intensity and depth. Has evolved into a very classic-style Brunello and it is in a great place right now and the drinking-window has certainly opened. The tannins could need more time to soften a bit but overall, it is a pleasure to drink right now. It does show some mature notes also but the fruit is still fresh and young. 92-93p

February 8, 2020 - Meilleure que la dernière il y a 3 ans.
Bcp de cerises fraîches en bouche, acidité moy+, tanins peu présents.
Texture soyeuse, tout est bien fondue, ça se boit tout seul! Rien de trop complexe par contre.
Carafe pas nécessaire.
