Nov/21.....for sure all gone....can remember opening them because drinking window was closing so probably 2019 (but I know see MG suggests 2026!) but don't remember much about them. Faint recollection was ok, nothing special. May have gifted one?

May 2020....lovely smooth & flavourful wine, your typical good CC. No regrets buying this, or drinking it. Had tonight on its own with snacks, tomorrow with eggplant parm, should go great. (91)

Uccelliera Rosso Di Montalcino 2012, Doc

2019?.....must have gifted one? some recollection of doing so.
January 2021.....obviously a quality wine but my bottle was past its prime in my opinion. Colour a very garnet red. Bottle remained upside down in cellar the entire time and sediment blocked flow initially. Not sure if storage caused any negative impact. That said, it got better with aeration but still lacked a zest I'm sure it held in its earlier life. Regret not having had sooner, feel like this was a winner of a wine.

2020, maybe longer (2022 latest)
Wine Enthusiast
Made entirely with Sangiovese, this offers aromas of spicy plum, violet, blackberry, toast and a whiff of oak-driven spice. The firmly structured palate delivers black cherry, clove, anise and a note of grilled sage alongside assertive tannins that leave an astringent finish. Give it time to unwind. Drink 2017–2025.

October 2020...don't recall the meal or details regarding the wine however I harbour no negative thoughts with respect to this bottle so Im sure I enjoyed it, as I do with most Brunello's.

June 26….really enjoyed. Medium bodied. Savoury. Had with Atlantic salmon, with Norah’s family. Would have bought more if known was this good.
