Nice, well-made, straightforward Brunello. Savory notes of iodine, balsamic, rocky loam, and old furniture compete with sweet, dark cherry on the nose. I like the palate even more, as it seems a little more youthful than the nose. Full and rich, loads of earthy dark cherry fruit. Some chalky, ripe tannins help it cling to the sides of the mouth a bit but don’t intrude. Not the most complex but gives you its moneys worth.

Rich and full-bodied, cassis and chocolate-cherries, mild sweet tobacco. Nicely concentrated with tannins that still need 3+ years to balance out. Lovely.

A shing example of a brunello that is aged and in its peak drinking window. Decanted for a little over a hour. Traditional style brunello and no rush to drink. This still has several more peal drinking years ahead of it.

In a good spot, but has some life ahead. Good floral notes. I drank it with a steak.
