Monday, July 15, 2019 - Biondi-Santi Riserva wine dinner (Taberna, Bukit Merah): At peak, and drinking absolutely beautifully - this was really enjoyable. It had a broad, expressive nose - more masculine than quite a few of the other vintages on show tonight, with lovely deep notes of earth, soil and bloody meat, and then higher-toned accents of black cherries and dried violets, spice and herb. Wow - this was a really entrancing bouquet. The palate had so much finesse to it, with round, sweet notes of ripe cherries on the attack, along with notes of dusty earth and lovely spice, all leading into a long finish. A wine of finesse, precision and definition - this was elegant in masculine, very Tuscan way; the epitome of great Brunello, even in a weak vintage.
