  These lads are like twins separated at birth, despite both bottles being wrapped and blinded, both @SKT and WMK brought the identical same magnum!
  
  I found many modern BdMs to be non ready for drinking, but this 2007 magnum showed nice rounded tannins with balanced acidity levels.
  
  Fruit forward style with cherries and raspberries, pleasant freshness, and a rounded med-long finish but just not special enough.
  
  Seems no one knows the true origins of Caparzo!
  In the end of the 1960s, a group of friends purchased these parcels of vineyards.
  
  Some years later in 1998..
  Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini purchased Caparzo, and ran this winery with Igino and Allesandra.
  
  Brunello di Montalcino (BdM) wines are known to be bold, with high levels of tannin and strong acid levels. This is due in part to the thick skinned local grapes, known as Brunello or Sangiovese Grosso.
  
  Bottles 7 and 8 of 10, Mikas birthday at Yik Kee in Taman Tun KL. All the best, lads!

  Still drinking well. Red fruit, Tuscan earth, and well rounded. The wine is definitely softer and less tanic.

  For me, in a good spot. Nose still somewhat tightly wound, dark fruit - black cherry, black raspberry forest floor, woody notes still there. Palate balanced - enough acid to support a freshness of fruit. Tannins still very present - and threaten to outlast the fruit. Would like to see a bit better integration of oak. Paired nicely with a grilled ribeye and balsamic mushrooms.

  Flat and closed on opening, but develops marvelously with some air to expose deliciously expressive tones of orange peel, wood and leather, followed by juicy, sappy and long taste.

  Amazing. With seared filet mignon, mushroom wine sauce, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chocolate truffles.
