Such a pleasure to drink a classic Brunello di Montalcino after a long time. Decanted for 2 hours. Garnet center with a hint of orange hue showing the age . Medium viscosity. I could see through the garnet center. On the nose I got ripe strawberries, blueberries , raspberries, licorice, and soils/earthiness. Aromatic happiness!!confirmed on the palate. Remarkable tannins - soft and velvet like! Persistent and juicy finish. Wine was dry, medium acidity, medium tannins, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol. A lovely balance of finesse and power in this bottle! My wife and I were having a homemade pizza on the patio, watching the sunset and chit chatting and didn’t realize we went through the bottle so easily! Time to bring in more good Sangiovese Grosso juice in the line up!
