Last bottle. Bought a case of this a while back. Someone really needs to give me pointers as to how to refrain from depleting my wine cooler. As you may know, I love this winemaker. The 2012 is a bit more rigid than the 2010, but it's still dynamite. This bottle clearly could have been left alone for a long while. There is a hint of spruce on the very top of the nose which rapidly gives way to cocoa, coffee, faint vanilla, and a hint of cherry. On the palate, the chocolate persists (mix with tea and tobacco) nicely and ends with still quite firm tannins. Medium long finish. Other Ciacci wines with a little age have been better, but this is still an excellent bottle of wine. 93 points

Концентрированно, сочно, жарко и одновременно сложно. Нос сдержанный: пыльца, дым, железо, лакокраска, сушеная черника, сандал. Во вкусе ликерная вишня, темная слива, лакрица. Статно, но настолько жарко, что насладиться им как следует не получается.

Modern stewy nose. Jammy fruit. Some spice. Ok if you want modern style Brunello. You could do worse.

Only had z few glasses at the end of the night. But a delicious wine. My level of awareness was not operating at full capacity.
