Val Di Suga Brunello Di Montalcino 2010, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$54.95

2020/21* right away!
many opinions, 2020/2/5/6 etc....one recent review (Feb/20) thought it was at peak now...2020/21?
January, 2024....with Norah and paired with spaghetti Bolognese. A lovely wine - mature, dry, medium bodied, delicate, classy - a wine of finesse. Would buy again. (93)

2019 - 2025*.....might it last a lot longer??....according to Decanter drinking window is 2018-2030
Sometime prior to Nov 2021.....must have had one but don't remember it, can only find 2. No recollection, which possibly doesn't say much for the wine???
Dec 21...gift to Dave & Bev (re home valuation)

Podere La Cappella Querciolo Chianti Classico Riserva 2011, Unfiltered, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$38.95
2020
December 2020....had with lasagna, Sunday night with the kids. It was nice, smooth, pleasant flavours but didn't feel it was a 93 that I was tasting.In fact I thought the life had been sucked out of it, too mature. But what do I know. Maybe tonight with a roast chicken dinner I will come to appreciate it more.....Ok, take it all back. Slowed down to enjoy and taste what I was drinking....very good glass of wine, quite complex and layered. Hard to describe what I was feeling but that last swish in the mouth before gulping left a lingering flavours I hadn't experienced previously..lovely!

Dec 23.....finally got around to drinking this, with Norah. Thankfully it was still good and remember quite enjoying, even if a bit past prime.
