  1/30/2024 - WojteG Likes this wine: 98 Points

  Broken cork, a lot of sediment, very brown color. No good signs.
  First sip and I knew I had the winner here.
  The smell is a huge load of tobacco and coffee, but wait, it's not bad, because on one hand they seem to dominate, but on the other hand they are in perfect harmony with black cherry, prunes, earth, barnyard, milk chocolate, oak and vanilla. Taste - if you wonder what kind of nectar Greek gods had in Olympia, then this wine gets as close as possible! Red cherry covered with milk chocolate.
  ...prunes mixed with tobacco, black cherry next to black coffee ( very strong flavor), but what is most interesting about the taste, that acidity and tannins show almost in finish, that is very long with spice, red fruits, smooth acidity and grippy (!) tannins. What a mixture!
  Why not perfect 99 or 100 points?
  You can believe it or not, but this wine is a little bit too sweet for me 😱
  Third glass - very juicy, very addictive, very long finish.
  I would mention that it looks like delicious young wine, but of course nobody will believe me.
  
  Vintage 1985 in Brunello di Montalcino was generally regarded as excellent. The wines from this vintage tend to be well-structured, with good acidity and aging potential. Many of them have developed complex flavors over the years, making them sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. If you have the opportunity to try or acquire a Brunello from 1985, it could be a memorable experience.
  
  This is not my opinion, it's ChatGTP one 🙂
  
  But I agree based on this juice
