  Nose - black and dark fruits, hints of cherries and slight smokiness.
  Palate- Dark fruits and hints of big cherries. Hints of smokiness around the edges. Delicious with tamales and salad boats.

  One of my favorites from Montalcino, Siro Pacenti BdM Vecchie Vigne, vintage 2012. Needed 1-2 hours in the decanter for the fruit to balance out the acidity and tannins. Not as impressive as 2015 but still a fantastic wine, happiness in a bottle 👌🍷.

  A very enticing Brunello, superbly structured, no heat, but cool minerality, crushed stones and some forest floor. Fine floral notes, Some herbs (thyme and basil) not the usual dark fruit Brunello dominance. Very good length and depth, well layered and not intrusive. Excellent Brunello.

  Exquisite. Beautiful nose of rose petals. Notes of cherries, black tea and flint. Well integrated tannins, smooth and balanced.

  Highly oaked (Siro Pacenti ages everything in French barriques) with the wood/woodspice notes not yet fully integrated. Nose of toasted barrel, hard aged cheddar, black plum, freshly crushed cherry tomato, and cinnamon. Still youthful with good acidity. I’d lay it down for a few more years in hopes of resolving the oak.
