Ruby with full berry aromas and slight floral mineral spice notes. On the palate wild berry fruits with a central focus of fruit, spice integrated with fine grain tannins. Full body, long ending with cacao, espresso and mineral tang.

Wonderfully floral notes of violet and fruity ripe red cherry fused with red pepper flakes on the nose, then all this and adding tobacco and black pepper on the palette. Light in color but rich in complexity. Love!

Luminous medium-dark red. The captivating nose combines sour red cherry, violet, coconut, tobacco, minerals and a hint of white pepper. Densely packed and youthful but very fresh and lively; this already boasts a silky texture and considerable early appeal owing to its noteworthy sweetness of fruit. Subtle notes of red berries, herbs, graphite and flowers carry through into the rising, very long, vibrant finish. A knockout Brunello that further confirms winemaker Cecilia Leoneschi’s talent at making exceptionally good, very classic Brunellos. I can think of very few wines in all of Italy that have improved more than Castiglion del Bosco’s over the last decade. Well done. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2018)

少し茶色がかった赤紫色をしています。古酒独特の色です。ブラックチェリー、ドライフラワー、なめし革、タバコの香りもします。熟成している感じが感じ取れます。渋みは穏やかで苦みは感じられません。熟成した樽味があり、ここらあたりが飲み頃のような感じがします。値段的にはかなり高いですね。

A truly delicious wine. Smooth, rich, balanced with a long finish it paired beautiful with tenderloin steak frites and béarnaise. Joy in a glass.
