This is drinking very well. Bold, rich, deep, and profound. Grabs your attention. Lots of structure and intensity with a long finish. Blackberry, leather, tobacco, cherry, dark chocolate.

This was excellent. PnP - nose very primary but with intense plums, which transpose to the mid-palate with the addition of cassis, tobacco, and some prominent oak on the spice-infused ending. Mouth-coating tannins - this wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc) was a pleasant surprise. For the price, excellent. I will seek more bottles.

I don't think I'm crazy but this wine is crazy good. Not from the best vintage, yes, but outstanding for the vintage and deserving of a 93 rating from both RP and WS. Had two bottles of this and both were consist with their dark fruit complexity, some terroir, and resolved tannins. No tertiary flavors at all unfortunately. Not usually a fan of wines with such high percentages of PV but this wine is not a fruit bomb at all. Well balanced with lower acidity which indicates it's the right time to drink with little room for improvement. Been a fan of Brancaia for years and this is one of their best.

Very interesting Bordeaux Cuvée from the Maremma with 40% PV, 40% Cab. Sauv. and 20% Cab. Franc. After 2 hours decanting opened but developed positive over 2 days. Very nice aromas and palate of black berries, wood, graphite and some herbs. Good wine but the 15 and 16 are much better in my opinion and will develop very good over 10 or more years.

1 hour decant before it started to really open up, fresh, lively, well made and well balance, plenty of tannins and acidity to back the slightly dark fruit. Medium length finish, excellent flavor profile. Well done.

Chianti Classico tour 2019 - 1: So ready for drinking now, vibrant, fresh and balanced, silky with polished tannins, utterly delicious. Great job. Usually blended from CS 40% PV 40% CF 20%.

Devenu un peu cher avec le temps, mais nous l’avons bu avec une bavette sur le bbq et c’est un bon match! Bien comme vin.

Bu en succ.
Bien mais cher pour cette cuvée.
Pas des plus long et complexe, beau fruit et tannins assez anguleux, fianle un brin juste.
Un peu déçu.
