My husband is a scotch drinker, but, this was given to him as a Christmas present last year.
He landed up opening it up last week to try, and really liked it. He’s had a glass every night so far.

2016: Solid Brunello as usual, with the distinct focus and structure of 2016 eventually opening up to more accessible cherry fruit, leather and bit o’ tar after 4 hours of air. Loving the 2016 Brunellos so far. $50. — 2 years ago
Color - burnt red with some bricking and a bit cloudy—a savory look indeed! Nose - dark deep cherry, smoked meat, pencil lead, gravel and notes of mint, cream cassis vanilla and with a subtle funky spice at the tail end giving much character to the wine. Taste definitely does not disappoint—an immediate creamy feel and dark cherry, savory, spice initially hits the pallet followed by cocoa, graphite and a smoke like aged vanilla long finish. Dusty tannins linger long after each taste. Loving it!! — 3 years ago

Flowery and pretty nose. Not my cup of tea on the palate. — a month ago
