Dusty notes with crushed gravel and dried tea leaves are a prelude to aromas of fresh button mushrooms and hints of fennel. Savory mushrooms and olives, followed by firm, fine-grained tannins. Structured and full-bodied. Drink after 2024. James Suckling

Way too many options to tag this wine. This needed a day to open up. Delicate and soft Sangiovese with refined structure. My preference over the Pieve Santa Restituta. Really pretty. BYO at Lucali for the second time in two months.

A very nicely packed and stacked Brunello, give it at least another year worth a pt or 2.

2016: A disappointment: early tannic mouthfeel opens up to… not a lot. Would expect better concentration, fruit, acid to take over but the result is fairly weak and underwhelming. Too young? Maybe but way better choices at lower price points. $65 (!) at Gary’s.

Robert pogo’s buy. Red meat on the nose, light in color, not too tannic, easy to drink. At the ranch before dinner.
