Open and integrated, definitely mature. Smooth, dark and not overly expressive. Cherries, iron, woodsmoke, vanilla, coffee, spice. Not terribly exciting but solid

My 16th Valentines Day with Holly so why not celebrate with a wedding year wine from one of my favorite producers in Montalcino. Cork pulled perfectly. Decanted for about two hours before our meal. On the nose, dark cherries, candied almonds (the ones you get from a German toaster), sandalwood, smoldering piñon, and leather; on the palate, hommade cherry/rhubarb pie, balsamic, mushrooms, black tea, and dried herbs. After a couple of hours, chocolate covered oranges entered the profile. It was awesome. Still quite tannic. Very dry. Acid is medium plus. The 2005 vintage is often overlooked but these wines are drinking fabulously right now.

Balance of ripeness, tannin, and acidity. Drinking beautifully and offering up everything I want in aged Brunello; leathery, stewed fruit but not suffering from high oxidation, reduced tomato, tobacco, sweet meat, dried roses, cedar, turned earth and porcini in the background. Granular tannins, structured but pliant at this point, giving length and posture.

Brilliant juice, even if it is still tight and young. Could use another 10 years! Dusty earth, dried black cherries, exotic savory spices.

Bright but deep, good year for Uccelliera.
