It shouldn’t surprise that the house making among the most age-worthy Italian wines is making Brunello not to touch for 15+ years. Secondary aromatics with rose and red flowers, cinnamon? Burgundian layers on a light and compelling frame with a core of sour cherry and strawberry. Perfectly integrated, lonnnnng as day. Yum.

Very nice wine but continues to be ready. Lots of sediment and improved with some time in the air. Quite secondary on the nose, deep dark fruit, mouth filling, still good acid. Excellent.
