Light brick color; delicate nose of dried and ripe red cherries, strawberries, and currant, and some anise, ceder, intense floral notes, and a ”watery” minerality; very fine tannins and medium alcohol and acid levels, more elegant than powerful, fruit- and spice-driven palate-coating taste with long finish. This wine is well made and correct but rather unexceptional.

It’s like silk. So easy on the pallet and it’s just GOOD. A nice treat for myself on a Friday night, simply because I can.

Medium-bright ruby in the glass. Tart red cherry, raspberry, and vanilla on the nose, with smoky spice and hints of tobacco and dried fig. Juicy red fruit dominates, supported by high acidity, medium tannins, and a medium-plus finish. Alcohol is prominent, adding intensity. Needs ample air—after 45 minutes, it was still opening up. A bold, structured Brunello that will benefit from decanting or aging.
