Over the hill. Wine was nothing but acid. 6 hrs of air did not help. Bottle was a gift - so no idea what storage was like for this bottle. A well stored bottle of this bottling should be drinking well right now.

Stellar again and alas, the last of a 6-pack. Red fruits, mushrooms and meat notes. Medium-bodied with smooth integrated tannins. Can last, but no need wait and this is delivering maximum pleasure right now...Ciacci never disappoints for me.

This producer never fails for me. Goes back to what I have said before—If you like a producer, buy in any vintage. 2012 was a solid vintage for Brunello, so no issue there. This wine is fully mature with some bricking in the glass and smooth tannins. Great nose of strawberry and raspberry. Medium bodied and great with meats and pastas. Drink now.

Superb brunello, would benefit from 3-5 more years. Impressive structure could easy go another 10 years

Mahogany red color. Mature cherry bouquet and flavor. Good grip. Really nice cherry fruit here. Should age another 3-5 more years.
