Top Notes For
Andrew Cullimore

Light ruby with a narrower brighter rim , just hinting at garnet . More floral and lighter red fruit , with strawberry , raspberry and light red cherry , hints of red rose and cedar , slightly stony edge also, will need time to open up . On the palate this has quite a lot more acidity and gritty tannins, red cherry , raspberry , orange rind and a real freshness and elegance . Balanced alcohol and good cherry tinged length . Very balanced and elegant , also pretty young , needs a few more years to open . Probably better in a 5 years or so and will last well a further 5-10 . The most ethereal and poised of the Brunellis in this tasting .
