Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

As good if not better than the 2019!!

Good wine. It paired nicely with a duck and ratatouille plate.

Good and heavy. Paired excellent with veal Parmesan. Oaky, cherry, leather, and earthy. Would probably be better had this sat a few more years. Prepping taste buds for upcoming trip to Tuscany for some winery tours.

2018 vintage. Solid but unexciting. Medium body. Hit within the next decade as this lacks the structure to cellar long-term. If you've still got the 2016 vintage, let that one sleep. 8.28.24.

It’s good but it’s not the best year

Very nice but not used to drinking them this young. I’m still motoring through the 2013s in my cellar. Just seemed to lack depth. Had it decanted for 45 minutes but didn’t open up enough either.

2018 vintage. Lacking the depth of the 2016 vintage/effort but still worthy. Wouldn’t age longer than 12 years tho. 1.10.24.

Medium ruby color.
Aromas of red cherry, oak.
Dry. Flavors of cherry, licorice, cured meat, leather, earth, floral. Medium-rich, firm tannins.

Intensity: 3/5
Complexity: 4/5
Balance: 3/5
Finish: 4/5

A very nice Sangiovese! On a cruise on an Italian ship. It works well!
