In general, how long would you recommend aging the 2019โs from good producers? I believe youโve shared itโs one of those wines with a โdead zoneโ
Thanks, John. Terrific video.
As I mentioned the other day I have the opportunity to buy the 2019 EP. The only wine you mentioned that is on the Wine Society list is Il Poggione. I would be grateful if you could let me know what you thought of these, if you tasted: Val di Suga; Buon Tempo; Caprili; and Ciacci (two including Pianrosso). The others in the TWS offer cost more than I wish to pay. If you didn't taste any of these I am tempted to go for Il Poggione. Thanks for your help.
Iโve been looking forward to this video, ever since your post on another social media platform. Thank you for sharing your top favorites from that 70-wine degustation or, in your case, 69 to be exact. Greatly appreciate all your insights and assessments with regard to the wines you enjoyed. Iโm glad you got to taste and evaluate Argiano even if the vintage is different from the controversial no.1 on the WS Top 100 Wines of 2023. Also appreciate the background information on Brunello, the learnings you have imparted with us on this video, the discussion of the terroir and climate in Montalcino among others. Most certainly a fantastic way to spend my Saturday night. Iโll be on the lookout for these Brunello beauties when they become available in the market. Santรฉ, John!
Great informative video. Would you expect the 2019 Barolo's to be a great vintage like the 2019 Brunello's?
Where do we buy them?
Did you try Constanti, Fuligni, Salvioni and Poggio di Sotto? If so any comments?
Thank you so much for the pin, John! Sincerely appreciate it!
Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ucchelliera started my BdM fascination and Iโve been a fan of La Gerla as well. Good to know they perform again in this strong vintage. But you also mentioned some names unknown to me, to there is still a lot to discover. Salute!
Enjoy your videos. Is that Brunello event like UGC for BDX? And is it open to public?
So cool that you got to try all those Brunellos. I may need to get those when they come out and age them.
Wonderful video as always. I am new to brunello, and a knowledgeable collector friend introduced me to the wine with Il Poggione. Sort of ruined me for other makers ๐. Iโm short of space to bring in multiples of 2019. So many choicesโฆ
One question: Iโm curious why you report other critics โ100 pointโ system scores, but donโt do your own. TBH Iโm glad you donโt, and just stick to buy recommendations. I know the is pressure on professional reviewers to score wines. Hoping you stay away from it.
have you tried La Rasina brunello di montalcino? i have some bottles lying in the cellar from 2013, they are darker and heavily spiced than many of its competitors who make "modern" brunellos that make a rosรฉ seem powerful, and that's a shame. but yes, il poggione brunello di montalcino riserva paganelli. is also a more traditional strong and good brunello, love them. Its a jungle when you try to find a descent wine these days. And indeed the argiano brunello is a good wine. but i like their solengo more than their brunello, when its only about brunello, argiano needs some more practice its very easy to taste ofcourse.
Wow, quite a tasting.
I like your review !!!! Photos and vรญdeos too!!!! Saรบde!!!!!๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท
