La Velona Brunello Di Montalcino 2009, Docg Bottle
La Velona Brunello Di Montalcino 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy
$39.95

Nose offers smoky vanilla, herbs and spices. Very dry on the palate - cherry tobacco follows. It's thin to medium bodied and well knit. A good decant is needed to open this little devil up.

Thought this would have been a lot richer and smoother. Not totally impressed here for the price. Much cheaper options out there in my opinion.

Victoria, Australia
$35.25

Well made, smooth & structured. interesting and mind provoking...black pepper, blueberry, cherry, violets,tobacco..etc... the palate is super smooth but flavours turn to sour or expired chocolate, leather (lots of leather) gamey almost???...weird...but enjoyable...not a blockbuster, for the wine nerd.

If you enjoy late harvest wines you will adore this. Although I prefer late harvest cab franc from niagara, I have to admit, this gave me some real drinking pleasure.

Loved this wine for its fullness of character – smooth, big, ripe, lush, tropical & zesty fruits with buttery mineral notes, vanilla oak and more. Very nice long caressing finish.
