Quite complex and Vibrant! Aromas of asphalt, forest floor, leather, garrigue and bramble berries. Palate is still full of cooked black cherry/raspberry fruit with hints of baking spices, balsamic vinegar and grilled herbs. Touch of pepper spice and smoky oak on the medium/long finish. Tannins are still quite firm and the acidity is still quite crisp. Nicely balanced and really enjoyable.

Italian smooth and lovely red. Aroma is fresh berry and apples in the sun. It’s balanced and complex. The things that age brings. Harmonic and easy to enjoy. This is how kinda how wine is perfected in Italy. Hills and fruits. Mountain air and the best of the rocks and fruits.

Watching golf and relaxing with a bottle I got as homework because, “you don’t drink enough Italian wine.” He’s got a point. This is nice.

Need an hour to open up and soften the acidity. Beautiful red fruit, very balanced, lovely wine. Had it with oven roasted whole chicken with a side of rappini.

Fantastic classical style Brunello, by the former cellarmaster if Poggio di Sotto. A joy to drink

Starts out a bit tart and mellows out on the palate.
