October 29, 2023 - This BdM at the moments shows such a power, finesse and precision. To me Le Chiuse is one for the greats in Montalcino and while i think this vintage would perform great for another 10 year i find it hard not to drink it right now. Close to a perfect wine. 97 P

Cherry depth and balance, intense for a Brunello but in a good way.
The best Brunello we drank on the trip -

December 24, 2021 - Christmas Eve dinner: steak au poivre, frites and roasted asparagus/onions. The wine went perfectly.

May 6, 2021 - 瓶醒6小时后开瓶回塞，之后瓶醒。杯中能嗅到很新鲜的果味，大颗的红樱桃上仿佛沾着水滴露水，些许覆盆子和树莓也融化其中，细腻精密。柔嫩的玫瑰花瓣，淡淡的肉味和烟草，细致的丁香、肉桂等香料粉，薄荷碎和一点点蛋糕，构成了匀称颀长的体态，在嗅觉中纵向延展，似轻纱曼舞。入口结构不大，雅致修长，整体感好，有俊秀美，美中不足的是集中度稍微弱了点，酸度漂亮，酒液中隐潜而又有跳脱的灵活，单宁中等，先是布满口腔，随后从细腻的粉质感转为光滑。果味直挺立体，澄净新鲜且多汁，红黑樱桃，红李子，树莓和覆盆子等，新鲜的花瓣在口中舒卷，甘草，丁香，八角等香料搓出粉末，还带着细长的矿物线条。93/100
