Ok wine in a great year for brunello. Everything in the right place but not exciting.

Oct 31st, 2022Old leather and licorice and old books on the nose. Cherries on the front. Medium tannic structure. Needs to open up. Harsh at first but the tannins become silkier. Long tart finish. Not a great Montalcino, but not bad either.

After 8 years Buca di S. Antonio doesn’t disappoint.
The Brunello was outstanding, from a great vintage. Paired wonderfully with the pasta bolognese and veal loin. The waiter also poured a 2017 to compare. The 2016 is better and enjoyable now. A delicious dinner at a amazing restaurant.
