Confounding wine. Expected it to be a real barbaresco but it fell way short of that expectation. Structure was off as was the attack and finish. Massively bummer because I wanted and expected better — 10 years ago

Holy freaking magnificence. I want to take this wine and drink it always and forever. Don't care what Ratings were when it came out but it is nearly perfect — 10 years ago

Maybe I'm just in the mood for some Bordeaux but this baby of a wine had great aromatics and the lovely old world mud terroir and trampled grass nose. It's not a big expressive wine but subtle and smooth. The pleasing palate allowed the wine to get a higher rating from me than most other reviewers. Not collectible but will age for a few more years or drink now — 10 years ago

I can't really comprehend how big beautiful and luxurious this wine is. It totally shocked me for the price. The 2009 vintage was damn near amazing — 10 years ago

Massive on the attack but then disappears like Jimmy Hoffa. After decanting got better but still not nearly as good as i thought
It would be. Much better wines out there for half the price.

9.1

Super young and smooth. All the great undercurrents of why Antinori is the best house in Italy. After 2-3 hours shows its character better. Currant plum blackberry even some fig jam — 10 years ago

Tremendous. I feel like the earlier ratings on this wine were way way off. After 10 years in the bottle this wine is just starting to show its true character. Its glorious dramatic and has a great finish.

Big florals on the nose with a soft almost to delicate tongue and attack. Tremendous finish where the wine sadly shows best drink now or hold 2-4

An absolute gem of a wine. Starts off young and fruit forward but then has an insanely incredible finish. 95 was a stellar year for Brunello but this may be the best of the bunch. Just incredible — 10 years ago
