Popped this because we’re having a Tuscan dish and my daughter, who’s here with her hubbie, doesn’t like older wines. This is a very soft and fruity take on Brunello, and it’s very fun. Sweet spice and macerated ripe cherry and warm terra cotta tiles on the nose. Soft and mouthfilling. Loads of deep fruit on the palate initially, very soft, the alcohol pooks through a bit on the finish. Really nice with the food, if not complex and classically austere.

Dec 11, 2021. Saturday dinner w/Jack D. Like Gugumack, I expected more from this 2010 Brunello. A bit barnyardy on opening. Decanted. Medium bodied, garnet color consistent with age. One dimensional, Just not much complexity for an 11year old Brunello. Disappointed
