Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Medium ruby , slightly wider ruby, garnet rim . Slightly more closed and serious ,spiced cherries , menthol , liquorice and dried rosemary and thyme . On the palate this shows good red fruits , with raspberry , red cherry , spiced red plum , with dried herbs and a liquorice hint . Quite gritty tannins and fresh acidity , saline tinged finish of good length . This needs a little more time , better in 2-5 years and will show well a further 5 or so — 15 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

Still young (obviously) and first of all fruity (obviously), but there is also a chocolate, leather and it's oaky. Maybe needs time (obviously 😂), but it's also very good for those who don’t want to wait. — 11 days ago

Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1998

Mini vertical ‘98, ‘06, ‘09. This was my favorite. Wonderful aromas of licorice,leather, plums and black cherry are all replicated on the palate. Except for the color, a red core and a brick rim one would be hard pressed to guess its age — 11 days ago

THE Brunello. Full stop.
It is hard to explain the tactile experience of this wine. Once you have Soldera you can truly understand all the fuss about Brunello di Montalcino i reckon.
No others producers are close to his level, some have taken the same direction, but it is a long way to catch up.

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009

This bottle didn’t live up to the brand

Decanted for 1 hour before dinner.

Really needed food. This wine was dark and not enjoyable unless paired with rich food.

Overall - okay but not what I expect from this winery. Maybe an off bottle from auction

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2017

It was very acidity and a bit bland at first. Maybe it needed more time, but decanted for 3ish hours and it tasted a lot like mushrooms, balsamic, black currant and a touch of underbrush with forest floor- with a touch of oak and spice. It was tannic but there was a lack of something in the mid palate and fruit. As I drank the last glass after 5 hours of decanting, it started to open up beautifully. All the aforementioned characteristics but with a strong mid palate filled with dark fruit. Delicious. Not as good as other vintages but this is worth drinking but give it some time to decante. Maybe 4+ hours. — 3 days ago
