  Italian night; 3/21/2021-3/22/2021: Still rather austere and young. An elegant and feminine (for the lack of a better word) expression of Sangiovese, balanced by some savoury notes and a good backbone of acidity. Only quibble was a slightly hot finish. Liked this but was overshadowed by the first two wines for me.

  I got exactly the same flavors when I opened the bottle as the previous reviewer (BH) but I let it decant for about 3 hours and it turned into an elixir. Dried fruits and floral notes intermingling with a sweeter toned finish that seemed to go on forever. We blind tasted 9 wines and it is really difficult sometimes to remember much about the wines but this one was a clear winner of the night!

  Very meaty aromas on the nose, the mouth is very supple with a beautiful substance on gamey flavors. The balance is good, the acidity enhances the finish which remains intense for lack of length.
  
  Fine

  Brunello di M. Biondi Santi 1999
  "IL SANGIOVESE"
  Fratello minore di uno dei più grandi vini prodotti in Italia, la riserva 1999, rispetto alla quale cede in struttura, profondità e tenuta nel tempo. Si tratta in ogni caso di un grande vino dove tabacco dolce, sottobosco e spezie, noce moscata tra le altre, costruiscono un naso intenso e ammaliante. Il tripudio di freschezza/dolcezza si alterna in una bocca che appare seta ma che paga qualcosa in termini di corposità
