Flat, oak-driven Brunello. A hint of leather and mushroom.

Awesome wine! Glad I've been sitting on for at least 3 years. Silky smooth. Sour cherries. Worth decanting if you want immediate satisfaction!

You can't do better if you haven't had a Brunello. Beautiful garnet color.

Red cherry, sandalwood, still a bit of tannin in the finish. Fabulous with red sauce pizza and @mrharada. At Vesta in Redwood City
