Great nose of black cherry and tar, really nice. When it hits my tongue I immediately get more black cherry and chocolate. Smooth and slightly tart with a dryness to be expected from a young wine. Reddish-violet color and somewhat leggy. Hard to go wrong with Brunello.

Ярко, ягодно, с хорошим дубом, элегантно, много малины и вишни. Отлично. 17/20 (93/100)

My second bottle of this vintage. Both unpleasantly weedy in nose and on palate, distractingly so. I don't know if it's a flaw or something just hits me wrong. With so much good Brunello out there no reason (for me) to drink this.
