Mod concentration of color, medium ruby fading to garnet and orange, dried cherry fruit and tomato paste still dominate. Dusty tannins, leather and green tobacco. VA lingers. Won't last the long haul.

2012. Well balanced, peppery. Needs a half hour to open up its fullness.

Another outstanding wine from the excellent 2012 vintage. Although slightly fresher than the warmer 2011 vintage, this wine offers also a lush Brunello style. Loads if fruit and spice, and a finish that goes on and on. Truly delicious now, will be even better in the coming years.

Dark cherry and stone fruit tasting notes with herbaceous undertones. A great option a traditional Brunello.

Complex funky nose with truffle and sauvage. Nice sweet entry followed by decent structure. Balanced. Perfect. At chefs table

Subdued but refined nose of fresh flowers, cherry and peach, a bit of liqueur orange peel and shoe polish. Light and elegant palate, nice style but probably not the best vintage for it, could use more concentration, finishes moderate length with some viscous cherry and orange and wet rock. Not bad, a slight dash above average.
