This $120 Wine Shocked Me! l WineText TV Ep.3

Key Takeaways

you know there used to be analogies I could use in wine liary TV that are less politically correct but I'm going to go there I don't think this is Politically Incorrect this just smells like a hello everybody and welcome to Wi text TV brought to you by winx.com America's new and best way to buy premium wine at discount prices episode three Brunello deino one of Italy's best wines I am here again with my best bud Brandon wariki who will make very limited appearances throughout the episode but has bought so much Brunello and we have four monster brunellos here today let's go to one of my all-time favorites I've been a fan of kaparo Brunello for many many years 90 points wine spectator at a $45 to $50 SRP wine these wines are big they're powerful and they go with all sorts of heavy dishes but there is Elegance to them more than a Cabernet and so you can find me occasionally in a fancy restaurant like a little Maven link it up with a branell on the table and a fish dish which I think is really interesting because this is the top that I'll go with heaviness in red wines for fish in general everybody out there if you like red wine red wine can go with fish all day long boilet Pina Noir you can do it there are no rules that's the point of win text TV let me give this a sniffy sniff the sniffy sniff is important smelling the wine especially if it's a premium wine over $20 a bottle will make your experience with the wine way better you will get more value out of your wine if you smell it hard not that hard that was for effect but full nose in you get the bouquet what's happening is as your nose is playing your senses work together smelling your wine especially for the ones out there buying 3040 $50 wine which is money you're just pouring and popping and drinking and you're not getting the full effect it's like going to the movie theater and not coming in time for the previews you didn't get your full value nice little hint of raspberry good little cinnamon stick on the nose which I like quite a bit and you know a little bit of tar which I like a little you know those tar Bubbles from the asphalt I don't know if you've ever grown up in a very hot area let's give it a whirl very solid tannins up front so for a lot of you the reason you don't like red wine is cuz it's bitter this has this like if I was a 1990s beer commercial I might have some bitter beer face right now cuz that sourness is coming through That's Heavy sour cherry nice tannins the mid pallette is solid but a little underwhelming and I will say that I do feel a little more hint and a spike of the alcohol than I would have liked on this wine I think this is a solid Brunello you know I'm not blown away I'm going to go 89 plus on the score 89 plus uh I would pass I would not buy this wine this wine would be $45 to $50 for most of you and I just think you can get a lot of wine that is better maybe including some of these in that same price range but it is not bad let's move it Palazzi 2018 Brunello the monino 60 to 65 suggested retail 92 points James suckling Smokey I almost get like pork I almost feel like I'm walking into like brother jimmies in the city like just like kind of smok house very Smokey cigar beautiful like Plum flavor on the nose which I really like let's give it a whirl dramatically smoother on The Upfront silky like you went to the St reges and they gave you silk sheets also really strong tannins but sweet tannins 92 points suckling I'm with him on this this is a very good wine I'm going to go 92 points as well I'm with James on this one 60 to 65 bucks that's probably its value point if you can find it cheaper I would do that if you can it's really good I like it all right another one of my favorites Barbie Barbie's been killing it in the theater let's see if it's killing it in Brunell 93 points w expector 70 to 80 SRP I'm giving you the suggested retail here most of these wines are available 20 to 30% less than a suggested retail Discounters wine library.com big shout out to dad even places that are really expensive like wine.com are probably slightly below the SRP yes that was a dig do not buy your wine at wine.com though I think they run a great business I just think they're overpriced but that's me anyway on the sniffy sniff also has a little bit of a cinnamon stick there's some raspberry little bit more like the caparzo nose classic it's a little bit more aromatically exciting look I like this this is wellmade well structured sour think sour candies think about the things you like that are sweet and sour there's also um cherry tomato flavor on the like back end of the mid palette as it goes into its finish but it's elegant it's smooth I'm going to go 91 plus I really like this wine it's wellmade and wildly more available and on so many more restaurant lists it's solid it's good I'm excited about this tell me about this wine so marinetto is one of the hotter I guess air quote new producers they have that wine and then they have a highend wine called Madonna 95 points wine Advocate $110 to $120 SRP this is some Muk MCO MCO stuff I'm excited about this let's give it a very serious snippy sniff wow this is got a great nose not even good this nose is insense this this smells like strawberry and creams and like rainbows this smells amazing you know there used to be analogies I could use in wne library TV that are less politically correct but I'm going to go there I don't think this is Politically Incorrect this just smells like a college dorm room of an attractive woman like that's like the first thing I thought of like it just smells good as soon as you walk in like that's what this is holy crap this is phenomenal this wine is well worth the price admission at 120 bucks SRP 98 bucks at Wine Library I'm sure that's the general range this is what $100 wine should taste like and really honestly this is on a completely different planet than these three wines like in a fight this wine would beat the crap out of these three and you'd be like a viral video on the internet D you drink wine today I yeah try this this is like banan good huge explosive red fruit black fruit strawberries blackberries ciss I'm joining the party let's give it 96 plus points I don't like to go to 98 99 100 on LX TV this is as big as I'm going to score as matter of fact honestly I can feel myself underscoring it let's go 97 points 97 points for this remarkable Brunello that blew me away and I I think 100 bucks is a lot of money to spend on a bottle of wine but this is that good and I couldn't recommend it more that's let's rank them up there we go anyway nonetheless that is our Brello show we will be back with episode 4 of winex TV soon sign up for winetext.com if you want premium wine at
