Montalcino

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

At Coci Northpark San Diego. The wine. Food excellent. Very very difficult to evaluate. I think they used too much oak on this. Ridiculous big and tannic even after 12 years. And after 90 minutes. I tough it is corked at first and even at 60min. Tobacco, cigar box. Touch cherry hint of prune plum. And better with a t-bone than with the light Italian food.I think they really overdid it to please - May be Robert Parker - at the time? Give it at least 2 hours to breathe before serving!!!! — 19 hours ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Fully mature. Fine, integrated tannins. Beautiful pure fruit profile with some acid, and tannin to give structure. Lots of tertiary - leather, forest floor, earth, umami, tobacco. Grip. Long. Right in the sweet spot. — 5 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

Medium bodied, firmly structured and rather energetic, it sports a reserved and savory profile of aromatic wild herbs and spicy underbrush fruit.

As it warmed up in the stemware, it began to better display a balanced structure with vibrant acidity and fine grained tannins. The finish is juicy and long.

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Nice but was hoping for a bit more refinement and balance. 15% which comes through only a bit. Still some rusticity. But the overall quality of the fruit is high. Would give it a couple more years at least. — 12 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2011

We had the 20111 Vintage on 2/8/25. Black fruit, leather and pepper on the bouquet . Black cherry, leather and tobacco on the palate. A darker toned wine than the 2010. Still very good. Tannins were all smoothed out. Medium bodied and truly Old World — 8 days ago
