Boscarelli, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Good stubborn. Light colour.

2022 vintage

Medium garnet. A bit more on the lighter, more acidic spectrum for Sangiovese based wines. Cherries and tea leaves. Good tannins and acidity. Not super complex, but everything in balance and enjoyable.

2022 vintage

Med+ acidity, high tannins. Flavours of red plum, leather, wood spice. Good intensity and good balance but lacking a little intensity

2022 vintage

After a proper 90 minute decant and when paired with food, this comes alive. Sour red cherry notes, subtle oak, purity of Sangiovese fruit. I believe this will get even better with a few more years in bottle.

2019 vintage

This was much better than the last bottle of Boscarelli that I opened (a 2006 vintage that I opened in 2013), which seemed to be flawed or else in a dull spot. Lots of sediment in this bottle. This was very modern in style, but it still had all the attractive qualities of Vino Nobile, such as dusty and drying tannins, licorice, fresh fennel, plum, dark cherries, overripe strawberries, tobacco, grilled herbs, violets, and baking spices on the finish. Orange …

2013 vintage

This wine is ruby in color. A pleasant nose greets you with vanilla bean and purple and blue fruits. Across the palate, enjoy more layers than normal for a Sangiovese. Blueberry, white chocolate and leather as it crosses your palate with a shorter finish. Fairly tannic structure may benefit from a longer time in the cellar.

2019 vintage

Pale ruby hue Nice concentration, aromas of cherry, violet, licorice, earthy and chocolate. Astringent tannins, M acidity and lasting finish

2019 vintage

A bit young but delicious. I tasted young just to know. Typical, perfect Italian food wine with a light, not-at-all viscous body, yet well extracted and ripe. Color is dark, but translucent (just), with clearing at the rim. Nose is aromatic and beautiful. Berries, dark fruits, spices, flowers. Palate is dark fruits, some mixed berries, earth, cocoa?, something in there. Fine, ripe, but immature tannins. Solid acidity to stand up to nearly anything -0 but note this makes it a …

2019 vintage

Tasted blind. Quite polished and way younger than what I usually drink. Very persistent tannins, red and black fruit, black olives, nice wine but too modern for me.

2019 vintage

The mistake I made was to pop n pour this wine. It was tight, restrained both on the nose and finish and it desperately needed food with it. My last glass was the best one and it began to open up in the glass. This needs a few more years to integrate and get comfortable in its own skin. I will hold for two more years before trying another or at least decant it and pair it with food the …

2019 vintage

Popped and poured this. Excellent with a pizza. Pure Sangiovese fruit goodness, with fine balance. 5-2-16-8: 91/100.

2019 vintage

This was the best bottle of Vino Nobile I have had in several years. A prototype for Nino Nobile.

2019 vintage

This is a deeply hued wine with dark cherry, almost violet, color. At first the wine is very tight. Fortunately, we had abundant time to wait and savor the first course (Caesar salad and yellowfin crudo) and allow the wine to wake up. By the time the main courses were served the wine presented well with sweet black cherry, licorice, violets and a touch of mocha. The tannins are well integrated but maybe not fully resolved. But there is no …

2013 vintage

Another 92 and I think I am being very stringent in my rating. I don't want my memories of the winery visit years ago to impact my ratings.

2019 vintage

At 11 years, (this is the 2012, actually) this wine is still drinking wonderfully.

2011 vintage

Candies cherry flavor and aroma with a good foundation of tannins. Light and crisp, not a huge amount of depth or complexity, but very enjoyable.

2019 vintage

Bottle 2, and I'd like to sit and drink all 10 bottles left. What a Vino Nobile should be

2019 vintage

I have been to this winery and found where I could buy a case and jumped at the opportunity. Still a tad early to drink, this bottle was wonderful. Medium to light in body, it is very big on flavor and tannin. Tart cherry and tobacco on the front with a sweet tasting smoke and cherry in the middle. The finish is a bone-dry cherry with a black tea tannin that hangs around for a long time. I am anxious …

2019 vintage

Really well balanced and tasty. Cherry, some smoke, and forest floor on the nose. Cherry, black currant on the palate. Fruit to start and dry finish. Would definitely drink again.

2019 vintage

Traditional blend of 85% Prugnolo Gentile & 15% Colorino, Canaiolo & Mammolo. Med ruby. Med+ red cherry, blackberry, black plum, dried herbs, sweet tobacco and elegant oak treatment (18-24 mos. in a mix of large French Allier and Slavonian oak casks). Dry, consistent with the nose, with med+ acidity, tannins and alcohol (14%). Very well balanced and smooth, w/ med+ body, med flavor intensity & length. Just entering its optimal drinking window, it should show well for several more years. …

2019 vintage

Well integrated but with a sweet fruit note. More polished than rustic. This reads to me as fully mature and in its prime drinking window.

2013 vintage

So refined! Still energetic and on its top where it will be for at least 3 years. No hurry. Great QPR. People who were patient are rewarded.

2013 vintage

If have this in your cellar, count yourself lucky. It’s drinking beautifully. Balanced, still full of fruit with complexities derived from 11 years of aging. We have another bottle that we’re going to leave for another two years. Enjoy this on its own, with salumi and formaggi, or with any typical Tuscan cuisine.

2011 vintage

Licorice tastes, nice body,

2013 vintage

Clean, red berries. Good acidity.

2013 vintage

Perfumery with hint of dark and red fruit and flora. Slightly oak with vanilla and leather and spice. Good QPR

2013 vintage

Last of my 2006 bottles. Wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The fruit was there but kinda muted, the earth wasn't too strong - which I like - but overall, maybe the wine was tired but still had good fruit? That doesn't seem to work in my mind. Wish I had just one more to check on it, but its been a glorious decade long run with many fun consumptions between then and now.

2006 vintage

Académie des Cinquante Tuscany Tasting (Buitenplaats Amerongen / Restaurant Bentinck, Amerongen, NL) : Still youthful, complete and firm, good fruit, cherries, well structured, finely wrought tannins, eleganty styled. Good future - 2023+.

2013 vintage

Still very young, but with great potential. Will open next bottle in about 2-3 years time.

2013 vintage

Juicy and lifted red fruit, very clean & focused, this was ready with a little decanting, med bodied, friendly tannins, went very quickly with dinner, really nice and a definite buy again

2013 vintage

Sadly, this time around not all that compelling. Maybe it's on it's way out?

2006 vintage

Cherries, raspberries and mint. Some chocolate on day 2. Good acidity and fine tannins. A nice sangiovese.

2011 vintage

Cork

2013 vintage

A good, solid wine that's very typical of its terroir. The wine is, however, aged in French tonneau (although not new), and it tastes like it.

2011 vintage

Tuscan Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA) : N: Cherries/pyrazines with notes of spice, toast underneath? P: Med body; Nice frt on front met by mid palate acidity. Long, VERY slightly tangy finish. 13.5% ABV #1/50 Best Wines of '16 @ VinePair, 91 pts Suckling, & 5/5* & "Great Value" from Restaurant Wine

2013 vintage

Bright fruit, approachable and forward. Not overly complex, but well balanced with good tannic grip. 87-89

2013 vintage

Almost unpenetrable garnet red, red fruits notes on the nose, medium body, perfect balance, almost no oak, short-medium persistency, good QPR

2013 vintage

Visiting Montepulciano : You clearly sense the similarities with the riservas, but in a less expressive version. Good balance of woody, savoury and spicy notes, with some floral and light fruity notes. Not very expressive, but pretty. The tannins are quite high, and I am not sure they will soften before the fruit disappears. Try in a few years time.

2013 vintage

Wine Warehouse Pre Event 2016 Spring Tastings, nose of bright red fruit, almost fruit forward on the palate, medium body, tasty, touch simple, medium finish.

2013 vintage

Tasted at the winery. This followed the 2014 Rosso, and was a noticeable shade darker - full garnet with a watery rim. 85% PG, with the balance made up by Cannaiolo, Colorino and Mammolo). Clean, and bright fruits are forced to take a back seat to the floral perfumes for the first few minutes. On the palate, the tannins waste zero time making their presence known. This is a wine with great potential, and one I will attempt to source. …

2013 vintage

A nice VNdM with cherry notes and a little earth. Still wound a little tight and needed more than the 3 hour decant to soften up the tannins a little, but certainly not unbearable. Not quite as nice as Poliziano Anisone but a great value at $32USD.

2011 vintage

Rich fruit on the nose, but still quite firm and tight. Bright acidity and juicy fruit. 88-90

2011 vintage

Ruby red, some oak notes on the nose, no particular notes

2011 vintage

Summa15 Day 2 (Magré (Margreid), Alto Adige, Italy) : See through crimson; cinnamon, deep, tart red fruit, incense; good acid and structure; delicious, as good or better than the '10 in my opinion.

2011 vintage

Nice nose, good balance.

2011 vintage

good depth and expression of montepulciano needs time to soften

2011 vintage

Similar characteristics to Prugnolo, punchy tannins, really drying and tight at the moment. Good length. Too young but should improve significantly once the tannins have softened. 88-90+

2011 vintage

Anteprima Vino Nobile Montepulciano - 25 TN inside! (Montepulciano (Si)) : Ruby red. Nice nose, with floreal hints and a well integrated wood. Coherent at taste, full mouth. Young. IV:87

2011 vintage

Recommend drinking now if you have any.
