"An analysis of 286 penalty shootouts found most keepers prefer to leap left (49.3%) or right (44.4%) instead of staying put in the centre (6.3%)".

So DC said to TW, "If you can guess how many percent alcohol this is, I'll give you a free bottle". When approached with a question like this, the better choice is to treat it like a goalkeeper - jump to either extremes. In this case, TW jumped left, DC won the shoot out, and no handouts were made.

15% abv! What?! Can't blame TW for punting on the low end. It's such a pale and airy red. And gosh, it didn't help that the similarly coloured Fedellos Bastarda at 12% abv was just presented prior (not that colour's any good at indicating alcohol). The wine itself was beautiful - red-fruited, spicy, floral, with notes of blood orange and an underlying minerality. Only after careful contrasting and some time (which was what we should have done in the first place) did we pick up the warmth in the rather long finish. Air too brought a clearer perception of the silky texture. Overall, a wine that would certainly knock you out if you're not careful of it's highly quaffable nature. — 3 years ago

Busted loose the 2008 to assess early drinking potential. A sacrifice of one bottle for five. Honestly, there is something about 2008 Brunellos that are less austere/classic than 2006, but do not possess that tiny bit of burn from the heat of 2007. So, drink earlier (now) or wait for another 4-7 years. 2008s are drinkers and keepers. — 10 years ago

Cherry on the nose, highly viscous, and dark purple hue, this Zin rocks! Dark berries on the pallete with a slight hint of bacon. Excellent, I’m adding this to my “keepers” list. — 7 years ago

10 years old and I think slightly over its top, despite 07 was such a winners year, apparently not a keepers year 😉. Stil some Dark fruits, cedar/toasty tones and a solid finish but time to drink up! — 8 years ago
