Amazing aroma and delicious red that only gets better as you drink it.

2017 vintage

Savory, subtle notes to the nose. Lean on the palate, just opened though so probably needs to flesh out. Lots of grip and minerality.

Getting pretty good- 2 years ago was disappointing. Now coming together. Thing this is going to turn the corner and get good in a few years

While young and somewhat primary, this is a well made wine that pairs great with food, especially in its youth. While tough to resist now, time is your friend. Initial attack on first pour was astringent. A solid one hour decant made all the difference.

Светлый и блестящий гранатовый цвет, прозрачное. В аромате черешня, брусника, сухие травки, дерево, специи и пряности, чуть лак, сушёное мясо, кожа, хвоя. Во вкусе среднее тело, кислотность выше среднего, неожиданно мягкие и аккуратные танины. 89/100

Nice bouquet of earthy blackberry and dark cherry with some floral and herbal undertones. Medium/light in body and soft and juicy on the palate with flavors of salted dark cherry with some minerality. Medium acidity and medium tannins culminate in a juicy then dry finish. Very nice.

Tight and intense. Old School needs lots of air. Very good with potential for long time storage. Great!

2017 vintage

Chocolate, cigar, vanilla nose, cinnamon; palette of red tomatoes, little tannin and tamed acidity; 14pc; decanted, after air sweetness, some dark berry as well;

2017 vintage

Cherry, plummy and initially brambly fruit. Autumnal notes, cedar, some spice and a touch of liquorice. Bit tertiary and a pleasantly sweet palate. In a nice spot. Mostly coravined bottle. Could do with some time I'm sure, but was happy out the gate.

Everyone says its the truth. And everyone else drank it. And what little I got, it was good.

2017 vintage

Very tight upon first opening, very expressive after about an hour, quite earthy

2017 vintage

Light red color appears older than stated. Fruit very understated with a bit more tartaric taste than better Brunello’s. Oak barrel flavors are well-done which is the only bright spot. No redeeming aftertaste. This is an underachieving wine for its region.

2017 vintage

Classic Brunello musty flavors of dirt and leaves overlayed with nice muted Plum flavors. Very drinkable now, might be better with a bit more age.

2017 vintage

Rather reductive upon opening needing an hour of air to show well. Moderate density and dried black cherry notes. Hold the finish well, with repeating polished fruit notes. Could use a few years of aging but it’s nice now.

2017 Brunellos and other Italian wines : dark garnet and with good body in the glass. the nose is generous with black cherries, whiffs of plums, spice and savoury herbs. its fullness in the mouth is leavened by a remarkable freshness that makes some bright cherry and raspberry notes shine thru. it's a bit austere in the middle as the tannins take hold, but comes alive again toward a finish that is very long and goes from spicy to herbal …

Meaty ochre. Love CC, but this is a just a bit flat relative to their bormal offering. A bit sour Drank after 3-4 hrs of air

2017 vintage

-- cork pulled approx. 30 min. prior to tasting -- -- tasted blind over approx. 20 min. -- Red-fruited (cherry) and tight on the Nose. Garnet color. High acidity; strong tannins; tar. Both me and a friend guessed 2015 Barbaresco on this one. Needs time.

2017 vintage

Drank side by side with 2017 Sesta do Sopra for early comparison. 4 hour double decant and then revisited over three days. Big, darker, richer than the Sesta. Smoother too, maybe more depth. Good now, will be better with time tannins particularly prominent on days 2-3.

2017 vintage

Medium nose intensity with notes of peppermint, spices, red fruits. High acidity and high tannin.

2017 vintage

Medium garnet with browning edges. Herbs, florals, nutmeg, and some red cherry. Medium length

2017 vintage

Dry, vertical, hints of tobacco, ripe tannin, very sound and deep fruit. Much too young - but serious wine. #PensionDanmark

2017 vintage

Floral and savory and bright and fresh and super young now. But well go.

2017 vintage

Med ruby. Ripe, velvety, spicy. Med+ intensity. Cherry, plum, ripe, clove, cinammon, blood. Vanilla, toasted notes. High ripe tannins. Med+ acidity. Med+ finish.
