Trader Joe's, $30

My first Brunello. Color was a rich ruby with an unusual brownish tint. Incredible tannic/acid balance, the perfect mouthfeel. On the drier side but nice red fruits kept it balanced. Initial slightly overpowering compost on the nose and taste, but mellowed after breathing into a nice interesting earthy background. A nice treat for the new year, ultimately I think it's worthy of the price, it offered some new complexities and refinement compared to my usual ~$10 bottles

Dusty tannins give way to strawberries wrapped in leather and cigar ash after about 45 minutes. Good acidity. Not the most complex exemplar of the style but a nice value. In other words, the epitome of an upscale Trader Joe's wine

Nice! Definitely a good aged time. One of the better bets we’ve made at traders. Worth the $30 price tag and would get again.

2013 - very good. Bold but not overwhelming.
