Surprising notes of herbs du Provence mingle with cherries. Palete is arresting. Superb structure, with a wonderful, jammy fruit profile. This is one for the cellar. Not ready now.

2013. Lighter body, cherry berry fruits, some savory herbal, and a small dose of barrel. Fairly long finish with medium tannins.

Really unfortunate to get a barrage of ads for unrelated products (video games) while trying to input this, @Delectablewine Delectablewine. I understand the need to monetize, but seriously, optimize your targeting a bit better than that. We expect a bit more intelligence from an app devoted to sharing and appreciating fine beverages. Overstuffing the free version--that many of us have been using for years--with unrelated ads to prod us towards paid premium only builds ill-will. I'm considering going back to handwritten wine journals à la Michael Broadbent, or even Instagram.

This baby Brunello is well-integrated, full of luscious dark cherry and leather notes. Medium finish. Should develop well over ten years.
