2013 Cerbaiona (Molinari) Brunello di Montalcino
4/25/2024 - rpfaffjr Likes this wine: 93 Points
First one for me. Can taste the tradition, can taste the potential greatness that has it in the Class of Top 5, but can't yet taste the fruit, hiding behind the acid. Way too young still. Will try something with a bit more age, assuming I can find something affordable.

2016 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova
4/4/2024 - rpfaffjr Likes this wine: 94 Points
Typical CdN - elegant, grippy, fruit everywhere, very very Modern, perhaps too much for me? Still trying to decide, but definitely lean Traditional. Nonetheless, obviously world-class wines and look forward to drinking the remaining in about 10 years.

2006 Cerbaiola (Salvioni) Brunello di Montalcino

Everything I expected from a cult producer in a good (not great) vintage. Love Salvioni. I can still see their home in the city center, knowing part of the cellar was just below. Wonderful family, great cult brunello, and worth every penny.
Drank while watching the Lions with their first playoff game in over 30 years at home vs Stafford and the Rams. What a game, what a wine.
I won't touch the remaining 2 for at least another 5-10 years. Will be even better. Finish super long, tannins grippy, cherry in front, perfect Sangiovese. (Buy more if come across).
