As dusty as an old carpet but on the opposite side of the scale of appeal. This fires on all cylinders with floral aromas and pleasing acidity to drive home the light red fruit flavours in the mouth. Slam dunk!

Nice orange tinge, some bricking. This brunello is in a good spot. There is nice balance of cranberry/strawberry and also some orange zest and spices. Again, better than the 2012 and 2013, the other two vintages I’ve tried.

Super bright red fruits. Cherry and strawberry. Leather and violets and also some sage. Acidity is very present but not overwhelming. Not sure I've ever had better value for a Brunello.
