Completely shocked by how good this Brunello was! I was definitely thinking it would be a soft, balanced style, but WOW, this was drinking incredibly well!
Whiskies that have sat on their side for a decade (dont get me started on how common this is) have a horrid bitter and repulsive note which ruins the whisky entirely. The cork will depict mould on whiskies that have sat for 10+ years and quite bad erosion.
Wines have 1/3rd the ABV of whisky, on the lower end of whisky scales (40% abv). Why doesnt the cork ruin wine? Surely it is breaking down the cork too? The alcohol is still there right?
I just want to pinpoint whether wines can dissolve cork at all?
Long question sorry but I'd welcome your thought process as you are someone who have tried many a fine old wine !
Since so many of us watch you and really respect your love of wine, would you consider, shooting some shorts giving us your recommendations on wines to drink. Different price points, Different varietals. Different vintage years. Etc. So, that when we are at auction or buying wines, we have your wisdom and recommendations. Especially, for someone like me who really does not know much about Red/White Burgundy’s etc.. things like that. Just a thought.
Carpazo pre-dates the even more well known Altesino (a sister winery under the same owner), another highly regarded Brunello Di Montalcino producer. Glad to know this 1997 stood up to time. Thanks for your detailed review! I will try to hunt this vintage down if I can find out. The oldest I've had is 2004 with an Argiano, that was superb also.
I am Sorry if i write this here but has been a while now that i Watch your videos, and i am trying very hard to reach your email, i would love to work with you in your restaurant, i am a sommelier currently working in Melbourne, there Is any chance for me to send you through mu resume?
My go to Brunello, always the one I recommend to my friends. I know they normally sell for around $45-$50, but my local store has the current vintage for $39. Big win!

I just tried this style of wine , per your suggestion. It was so good!

Suckling raved about this on release. I have a few left. Will have to crack one
I love watching this. Thank you for sharing with us 🤙🏻
happy easter! winebid better be sponsoring you!
Love to see a video of you trying DMT. Just saying. Cheers 🍷
I never new Murray from impractical jokers new so much about wine
What glassware do you use at home?
I use an electric Wine opener. To open all my wine bottles.
I'd opened a 2018 last year. I should have waited 20 more years!
It’s a shame Frasier and Niles weren’t there to share in this.

Just love your enthusiasm, that wine was excellent value!!!
What phone are you using to record? The quality doesn't do justice to modern abilities.
I would recommend to mute the audio from one video and just use the audio of either glasses or mic for both, so there is no weird difference.
I’m opening a 78 Chateau Lynch-Bages today that I got from winebid. It will be my first time using a Durand. Kind of nervous 😂
