N: Smells like an old, broken In leather couch, plenty of dirt, frutti di bosco.
P. Nice acidity and tarry goodness, tobacco, some plum.
I believe these guys are next to Uccelaria*(sp)
Not bad for a bargain bottle. Many years ahead as well.

9.1

What a value from the list at Acquerello in San Francisco and such a great vintage. Wine showing nicely, dark color and pleasing nose, lots of dark red fruit on the palate, very supple texture and mouthwatering acidity on the finish. Awesome with everything on the table. — 2 years ago

9.2

Warm spices, dried cherries and both white and black pepper on the nose and palate. This has aged beautifully and will pair well with grilled venison strip loin — 4 years ago

9.3

Brownish red color. Earth, strawberry, and cherry. Acidic with softer tannins. Like a Chianti with some of the idiosyncrasies smoothed out. Good, but not transcendent especially given the price. Brunellos really lend themselves to aging, so maybe 8 years old isn’t enough time to reveal what is going on. Also, I think this is my first Brunello, so I’m still getting to know the style. EDIT - later this wine started to take on a really lovely, silky quality that I really like. I think I’ve turned the corner. — 9 months ago

Still really great acidity, and ripe fruit, the cork disintegrated upon trying to open, but was not dry. Surprisingly very very good. — 3 years ago

Beautiful acidity and tart cherry notes, sweet tobacco with a wonderful slight vanilla finish. ‘73 was beautiful. — 6 years ago
