Gode, Brunello di Montalcino

Very robust. Surprising for a Brunello. Served with filet mignon and a cognac/mustard sauce. Very accessible with time.

Yum

- Garnet color.

I was expecting this to be hard and closed but it was the opposite. Day one, vibrant mushroom, herbal, more secondary than expected. Palate had distinct mint and lots of structure. Day two seemed to lose the secondary and gain some fruit. More mature and less acidity than the 06 beside it.

Aromas of strawberry and earth. Old school Brunello with cherries, leather and tons of acidity. Very dusty chianti like finish that dropped my score. Consistent on day 2.

Boerne wine club Brunello tasting Feb 2015 : medium scarlet colored. Bone dry, dusty tannins with bright cherry acidity.

Brought to M and J's house, with Ruth too. Popped and poured. Darker garnet. Nose of cherry pits, earthy tones, a bit of porcini, strawberry, leather. Medium- to full-bodied on the tongue with integrated layers of dark cherry and plum laced with licorice, moca, dried herbs, and some oak notes. Smoothed tannins and moderate acidity leading to a moderately long finish of leather, cherry, and earth. Quite harmonious despite its youth, and a terrific pairing with puttanesca sauce.

great nose and finish. even better the second day

- Brick color and aromas of blackberry and black currant. It's balanced and has flavours of chocolate with a medium/full body. Oily texture with a long finish.

Closing in on maturity. Nice modern-styled Brunello, however the oak was very nicely integrated and the tannin level is agreeable. Drink or hold 1-2 years.

decent. cherry and violet

This was a highly recommended Brunello and I am glad I tried it. This wine was full of flavor and tasted excellent paired with a red sauce. I will buy this again.
