Saturday, November 27, 2021 - D+0h: no deposit in the filter nor in the bottle, smells of blackberry D+4h: purple red colour, on the rim quite cherry red, smells of elderberry with both a little bit of blackberry and a little bit of smoke in the background, medium body, has a little bit of residual sugar, still has some unripe tannins, in the mouth elderberry and a little bit of blackberry, in the aftertaste elderberry and a little bit of acidity, good length (30 sec).
I’m kind of disappointed by this wine, perhaps it’s in a closed phase at the moment?, in any case I will let my other bottle (I think I have another of the 2016 (I’m bad a keeping track of my wine cellar)) rest for a year or two more, perhaps it will pull itself together with more time.
PS: The 2016 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico is much better than the 2016 Brolio and drinking beautifully right now. It might be due to a more accessible style, perhaps the Brolio simply needs more time.
