August 21, 2023 - Time has not helped this wine. It was an acceptable Sangiovese but good Chianti -- no. Brunnelo -- for sure NO.

December 23, 2020 - Excellent, if still rather young. Classic color, traditionally raised, with timeless aromas and flavors of soil. leather, bright cherry, etc. The initial attack makes known there's plenty of fresh acidity to accompany the layers of red fruits. By the third glass, this has added some weight and length. That said, it's still pretty early days here; I'll plan to drink 2023-2034. Textbook, very pure. highly recommended+

December 21, 2020 - From magnum, deviating from avg scores here but his was fantastic! Decant for 1 hr, layers of smooth complexity with rounded cherry in front and silk on finish. Found the 1.5 L for only $100. Was just delicious. Cheers.

November 11, 2020 - My past note was Rock on; I liked the wine but was left wanting when I think of Brunello and the standard pricing of this bottle
