Le Lucere Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Awesome brunello. I was a little concerned too much time had passed, but not the case. The tannins were soft, the flavors of cherry, plum and dried herbs were perfect. Last bottle - wish I had more. — 4 months ago

Rüncot Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

Savoury yet ripe cherry notes. Great depth of flavour coming out after 18 years. A medium bodied palate with medium plus intensity. A trace of that elusive iron amongst the earthy notes. A brilliant wine - thoroughly enjoyed it. A pity that we have to wait 15 to 20 years for Barolos like this to be at their peak, but it is worth the wait. Runcot is only bottled in the best years. This is one of the 1001 Wines and one of the best reds I’ve had this year. — 6 months ago
