This is smooth and quite pleasing with sweet cherry fruit ,some tannins and oak still to integrate l. On the richer side

Wow! This is ageing really well. Dark ripe red fruits with figs, dried cherries and berries in the nose and palate. Pepper, light clove and chocolate soften the cedar. This will be amazing in a few years

Wow! Spectacular! 40th harvest brunello is amazing! I'm sad I only have one more. Highly recommend and drinking very well now but will age another decade easily.

Good, not great. Needs some time. Once it opened up after about 2 hours I could see potential for a really good brunello at a good price point (pre-arrival price of $35 at K&L wine merchants)

Leather notes with coffee, white and black pepper. Smooth tannins with stewed red fruits.
