Very nice but not used to drinking them this young. I’m still motoring through the 2013s in my cellar. Just seemed to lack depth. Had it decanted for 45 minutes but didn’t open up enough either.

2018 vintage. Lacking the depth of the 2016 vintage/effort but still worthy. Wouldn’t age longer than 12 years tho. 1.10.24.

col d'orcia 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is an alluring creation with 14.5% alcohol content, boasting a medium body that dances gracefully on the palate. Its mesmerizing hue of medium purple enchants the eyes, while its vibrant high acidity adds a delightful zing to the overall experience, accentuating the flavors. As the wine meets the nose, a captivating bouquet unfolds, reminiscent of a Tuscan spring garden. Notes of balsamic, basil, and sundried tomatoes intermingle with the freshness of thyme, creating a harmonious symphony of aromas. The scent of ripe red cherry adds a touch of fruity allure to the ensemble. Upon the first sip, one is immediately greeted by the invigorating burst of sour cherry, a defining characteristic that lingers tantalizingly. The wine's exceptional quality shines through, making it an excellent choice to accompany a fine meal. It effortlessly complements a variety of dishes, elevating the dining experience to new heights. With a rating of 96, col d'orcia 2018 Brunello di Montalcino stands as a testament to the mastery of winemaking. This wine is not merely a beverage but an invitation to indulge in the artistry and craftsmanship of Italian viticulture. It is the perfect companion for cherished moments shared with great friends at an authentic Italian restaurant, where the ambiance matches the wine's essence. Cheers to unforgettable memories and the pleasure of savoring this remarkable wine!
